Pelosi vs. Cheney

Round One

Cheney: "I think if we were to do what Speaker Pelosi and Congressman Murtha are suggesting, all we will do is validate the Al Qaeda strategy. The Al Qaeda strategy is to break the will of the American people ... try to persuade us to throw in the towel and come home, and then they win because we quit."

Pelosi: "You cannot say as the president of the United States, 'I welcome disagreement in a time of war,' and then have the vice president of the United States go out of the country and mischaracterize a position of the speaker of the House and in a manner that says that person in that position of authority is acting against the national security of our country. And you know what I'm going to do? I'm going to call the president and tell him I disapprove of what the vice president said. It has no place in our debate."

Boo-ya-ka-sha.

I think what she was trying to say is that the right has bitched about not supporting our president in a time of war. Well, she ignored that up until she finally had someone, non-pundit, talking back to her. And now it matters?

I hope this escalates because I think Dick can take both Murtha and Pelosi.
