Fox News is reporting that Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid sent a strong message to President Bush today:
On their first full day on the job, newly-elected Democratic leaders Sen. Harry Reid and Rep. Nancy Pelosi fired a shot to the White House warning President Bush that it would be a mistake to consider a surge of troops as part of his revised Iraq policy.
-Snip-
The letter by Senate Majority Leader Reid of Nevada and House Speaker Pelosi of California cautioned that any plan of “surging forces is a strategy that you have already tried and that has already failed.”
I’m not surprised Democrats are already flip-flopping on their support President Bush’s new plans for Iraq. Like John Kerry and the rest of the liberal kooks, Democratic leadership never had a “plan” for Iraq. This is proven by a report by the Washington Post on Harry Reid in December:
The Senate’s top Democrat offered qualified support Sunday for a plan to increase U.S. troops in Iraq, saying it would be acceptable as part of a broader strategy to bring combat forces home by 2008.
