Nancy Pelosi Grows a Backbone

In this CNN article (link), House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi is quoted as saying:

"I believe that the president's leadership in the actions taken in Iraq demonstrate an incompetence in terms of knowledge, judgment and experience in making the decisions that would have been necessary to truly accomplish the mission without the deaths to our troops and the cost to our taxpayers."

Finally, a leading Democrat has the backbone to point out that the Emperor has no clothes. (No, really, she actually said "The emperor has no clothes.")

Hooray for Nancy Pelosi. I hope this is a sign that the Democrats in Congress (many of whom voted for the war to begin with) will start to do what an opposition party is supposed to: Oppose.
