The Speaker is No Thinker

I noted the following in the linked article:

U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, meanwhile, said she "made clear that the war must be brought to an end" as she met with top Iraqi and U.S. officials Saturday during a visit to Baghdad.

"It has already taken far too many American and Iraqi lives, it has cost far too much in money and the reputation of the United States, and it has drained far too much from the capability of our military," she said in a statement.

So! Her answer is? I assume she wants to pull the troops. What consequences will her ideas have? Me thinks she "thinks" too highly of her self. Perhaps it was a fiat declaration;

"I am The Speaker. This war is over. So let it be written, so let it be done."

And we all lived happily ever after.

Do not put your trust in princes ( or Speaker), Nor in a son (or daughter) of man, in whom there is no help. (Psalms 146:3 NKJV)
