It took a while, but I think Nancy Pelosi is finally starting to understand the Iraq war debate.

"They like this war. They want this war to continue," Pelosi, D- Calif., told reporters. She expressed frustration over Republicans' ability to force majority Democrats to yield ground on taxes, spending, energy, war spending and other matters.

"We thought that they shared the view of so many people in our country that we needed a new direction in Iraq," Pelosi said at her weekly news conference in the Capitol. "But the Republicans have made it very clear that this is not just George Bush's war. This is the war of the Republicans in Congress."

Yes, Nancy that's what we've been trying to tell you all this time! Republican's DO NOT share your view that we need a new direction in Iraq, because we already have one.
