This woman is such a blatant idiot that she should NOT be speaker of the Kindergarten house let alone speaker of the House for the Fed Gov't. She obviously is SO out of touch with reality that she does not know her ass from a hole in the ground.

I'm hard core democrat, and certainly no huge fan of Pelosi…but this NRCC crackpot needs to retake his high school civics class. Pelosi, as Speaker of the House is 4th in line of succession to the presidency. General McCrystal's job is to make strategic and tactical military decisions…not policy! He reports to his chain of command, which reports to the President. It is NOT his place to publicly disagree with U.S. policy. Anyone who is familiar with the Military Code of Conduct knows this. If McCrystal disagrees with policy, his place is to take that to his commanding officer, and so on up the chain to the POTUS, and then the POTUS can either choose to accept or not accept his advice. That is the way our system works. Thus Pelosi was ABSOLUTELY RIGHT! McCrystal made a mistake in the Q&A session after his speech in London, and he would probably be the first to admit it! Thusly, I think you can expect him to tone down his rhetoric, or be submitting his resignation in the near future!

I was unaware that Pelosi made economic policy. As I recall, thing like bailouts and supporting of banks and financial institutions started during the Bush administration and were voted in by a Republican controlled congress in 2008.

Sorry, what? Did history change again?

The reptilian brain is at work with much of the population today. This is evident where you have authoritarianism, militarism, and certainly republicanism.
Reason and rationality plays no part in their thought process but rather a fear based instinct that believes only the strong will survive.
While they reject the theory of evolution, they certainly embrace the racist ideas behind social Darwinism.
You often hear these Cromags say that they have never felt so alive as in battle.
Putting Ms. Pelosi “in here place” is an echo of the male chauvinist past attempting to bully it's way back from the depths of this cold blooded reptilian mentality that unfortunately is so prevalent in our world.

The dems really have painted themselves into a corner.
You can't be the anti war party and the majority with their party leader in the White House and pursue a pro conquest strategy simultaneously.

They're scared to death to be painted with the brush of being the architects of a military defeat... though the GOP conveniently forgets that the last military defeat was under Richard Nixon.
If our goal is to bring western style democracy to Afghanistan, forget it... the last fraudulent election should have been the hint that this an impossibility. Nor would we be able to bring them a secular society especially when we're arguing that one ourselves. Nor can we guarantee them equal rights for their female population when they keep denying them that at every turn.
Nor can we break the back of the Taliban... for every wedding party bombed by robot drone planes we recruit for them, they retreat into Pakistan where even some of the pakistani generals support their (the Taliban's) brand of extremism.

We may learn the lesson the russians learned long ago... but at what cost, and when does the cost become too great?
