House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said yesterday that Democrats should not seek a unified position on an exit strategy in Iraq, calling the war a matter of individual conscience and saying differing positions within the caucus are a source of strength for the party.
Pelosi said Democrats will produce an issue agenda for the 2006 elections but it will not include a position on Iraq.
In all fairness to the Dems, it's hard to take a negative position on Iraq when the news out of there keeps getting better and better. The Dems are too invested in defeat and failure in Iraq - and that dog won't hunt with the American people. "Pull-out Pelosi" goes on to say:
"There is no one Democratic voice . . . and there is no one Democratic position," Pelosi said in an interview with Washington Post reporters and editors.
You're preaching to the choir Nancy. I don't think anyone has ever accused the Democrats of being organized enough to have "one" position on anything.
