What is it with Politicians and remembering things they did and said. Why are they possessed of faulty long term memory? We have seen it all through our history. Even my hero, Ronald Reagan said, “I do not recall….” It was a temporary attack of the “Feet of Clay” syndrome.
Now Ms. Pelosi seems to remember the Bush administration briefing on torture quite differently to every other person at the briefing. Peter Goss, erstwhile chief of the CIA and several other Republicans are accusing Pelosi of selective memory. It’s all part of the blame Bush game. As long as Bush and his administration remains a viable target for blame about anything, he will be used for such. What happened to looking forward? If the Democrats are determined to look back and rehash things which are long past, then they must take the fallout with it.
Right now Pelosi should be concentrating her mental and political resources on pushing through the Euro-Socialist agenda of the Obama Administration including the first-of-a-kind several trillion dollar budget, health care reform, the cap-and-trade proposal and additional funding for the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. Instead she is backing a truth commission which will root out what actually happened with the torturing of those poor blameless terrorists. Huh…as long as they don’t dig up too much truth about Madam Speaker…
