Pelosi stands by vote against Iraq war

"I have absolutely no regret about my vote on this war," she told reporters at her weekly briefing yesterday, saying the same questions still remain: "The cost in human lives. The cost to our budget, probably $100 billion. We could have probably brought down that statue for a lot less. The cost to our economy. But the most important question at this time, now that we're toward the end of it, is what is the cost to the war on terrorism?"

Is she serious or is she just trying to be an opposition to Bush? Is she suggesting that we return to Pat Buchanan type isolation and just pray to God that no one attacks us ever again? Having the turtle hide in its shell is hardly a safe or realistic foreign policy. If the Democrats regain control of the House, I hope a moderate in the party challenges her for the Speaker’s job.
