Nancy Pelosi's Larger Plane Request

    From the AP

House Sergeant-at-Arms Bill Livingood:

"The fact that Speaker Pelosi lives in California compelled me to request an aircraft that is capable of making nonstop flights for security purposes, unless such an aircraft is unavailable. I regret that an issue that is exclusively considered and decided in a security context has evolved into a political issue."

Pelosi said Thursday that she'd be happy to fly commercial.

"We never asked for a larger plane. This is a myth that (the Republicans) are talking about on the floor," she said. "They have nothing to say to the American people about the war, the economy, global warming and the rest. So they have this game they're playing."

   Now that we know who did what, can we get on to something of actual importance? This has been nothing  but the Republicans trying to side-track the real issues.

Gates Says U.S. Can Prove Iran's Role In Iraq

    Secretary of Defense Robert Gates says that the military has collected some pretty good proof that the Iranians are involved with providing militants in Iraq with either weapons or technology. He was referring to some serial numbers and some markings that have been found on explosives.

    Gates: " I think there's some serial numbers, there may be some markings on some of the projectile fragments that we found."

    Reporters were supposed to have been briefed on this last week but Gates and the officials higher up had it delayed because they wanted to make sure that the info they would be talking about was accurate.

   We have to ask ourselves if we are going to trust this group of liars. I for one, will not until I see the proof and even then I still will not back an attack on Iran.

    This group (Bush clan) are notorious for cooking up things to go along with their rhetoric and I think that they are just trying to make sure that the facts ( ? ) on Iran can hold up to scrutiny.  The White House is no doubt making sure that their is something to show this time around.

   Also note from the quote by Gates that " I think." That tells me that so far, they know nothing. He should know what the evidence would be unless he actually is as incompetent as Rumsfeld was.
