Pelosi Won't Attend Iraq Briefing
WASHINGTON, Apr. 24, 2007— As the House and Senate prepare to vote this week on the final conference report on the $124 billion troop funding bill — which would also mandate that U.S. combat troops begin withdrawing from Iraq on Oct. 1 at the latest — Gen. David Petraeus is scheduled to come to the Hill tomorrow to brief lawmakers on the progress of the recent troop escalation.
ABC News has learned, however, that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., will not attend the briefing.
What would the General know that Pelosi hasn't already heard about from CNN or MSNBC? They already know how things are, there's no reason to believe the man in charge of the Iraq phase of the War on Terror. Of course she could be just like "Dingy" Harry Reid and say it doesn't matter what Gen. Petraeus says, the "War is Lost".
