Nancy's Getting Antsy With Bush.

You know, I'm really starting to like Sassy Nancy Pelosi, White House clash over Iraq:
"'The president knows that because the troops are in harm's way, that we won't cut off the resources. That's why he's moving so quickly to put them in harm's way,' Pelosi said on ABC's 'Good Morning America.'

When asked whether she thought the president manipulated the deployments to avoid congressional action, Pelosi said she hoped he did not but thought 'he could have told us about it sooner. ... We found out about it as the troops were going in.'"
As a side note, who the heck came up with this "harm's way" phrase anyway? It's so inaccurate, so low key, so--hey--I get it, WRONG!!!

Somebody please coin a more correct term please, like say 'in the ninth ring of hell' or something.

Oh, and this retort:
White House spokeswoman Dana Perino retorted that lawmakers are involved in a "sound bite war" against Bush, counter to Democrats' promises of bipartisanship.

"Those particular comments were poisonous," Perino said. "I think questioning the president's motivations and suggesting that he, for some political reason, is rushing troops into harm's way, is not appropriate, it is not correct, and it is unfortunate because we do have troops in harm's way."
Don't you just hate it when the WH hacks take you for a fool? Like Bush's move is not "political" but STRATEGIC; we don't get it, WE'RE TOO STUPID TO BREATH!

Argh.
