What Pelosi SHOULD have said (but didn't)

cenk uygur at huffpo...

Here's what Pelosi should have said in response to Cheney's comments:

You know what validates al-Qaida's strategy? Going into Iraq when that country had nothing to do with 9/11 and leaving Osama bin Laden alone. I don't care to hear what the vice president thinks of al-Qaida strategy until this White House captures Osama bin Laden and Ayman al-Zawahiri - the men who ordered the attacks against this country on 9/11 and so far have suffered no consequences.

Instead of running his mouth, the vice president should be busy devising a strategy to capture the leaders of al-Qaida. Their strategies are validated every day they are free and openly taunting our government. Does this administration ever plan to capture the people who committed this heinous act upon our people? Or are they too busy attacking their political opponents instead?

Right now, the president and the vice president are threatening Iran - yet another country that did not attack us on 9/11. Do they care about al-Qaida at all? Escalating the war in Iraq and threatening a new war against Shiite Iran would do absolutely nothing to thwart al-Qaida. It would only make them stronger.

Maybe I need to draw the vice president a map because apparently he has no idea where bin Laden is, or doesn't care. Yoo hoo, he's over there - in Pakistan. Are you going to go get him or sit there and make political attacks all day?

Here's my final message to the vice president: Shut your mouth and do your job!

Could you imagine if Pelosi actually said that? How great would that be? You know what the repercussions would be? Absolutely nothing, except that people would love her for it.

this goes right along with the paul abrams huffpo piece i cited last night... it's way past time to stop being circumspect and start calling these traitors out for what they really are...
