King: Pelosi is an ‘enemy of national security’
Edited on Fri May-15-09 07:28 PM by Raine1967
Seriously... I am really losing it here.

Iowa Rep. Steve King is calling on Democrats to remove Nancy Pelosi as Speaker of the House because of her claim that CIA officials violated the law by failing to give her a ‘full briefing’ on the techniques used to interrogate detainees suspected of terrorism.

Speaking on Fox News, King said former speakers have been ousted “for much less,” and called Pelosi an “enemy of national security.”

“It is utter arrogance to think that she can roll back the truth,” King said. “We need to know when Nancy Pelosi was briefed… what did she know and when did she know it.”

King’s interviewer, Fox anchor Megyn Kelly, condemned Pelosi for attacking “patriots” who “helped prevent another attack on American soil.”

King agreed. “She is at some point going to have to face the truth,” he said.

These people are truly off the hook at this point.

Let me ask again: Who wrote those memos? Who was on TV saying Torture worked? WHO?

If the Republicans think torture worked to keep us safe, then why do they care what she knew and when she knew it? If they think torture is wrong, then why aren't they calling for Cheney's head on platter? Why aren't they calling for the heads of the Republicans in the committee (who happened to be in charge at the time)?

Can someone explain this to me?

1. Republicons lost their credibility a long
time ago. They need to go out and take some truth lessons. Crash course.

2. And quit blaming Dems,
but they'll NEVER do that, its not part of their 'game,' which they'll ALWAYS play.
