Seems to me that she has a very valid point...Any decent "exit strategy" would have considered these things in advance...If you aren't allocating resources for the return of the soldiers in your plans, what does that tell you?

When is Pelosi up for re-election? Come on, California... wake up!

@traxla: That district can only do worse....Hard to imagine.

The soldiers weren't well cared for even during war. The supply lines didn't get food etc to the front line for the first month of the war in Iraq. The soldiers were in constant fear of chemical warfare and had to live in the head to toe safety gear (and pee and poop in and never get showers) for days on end.I sent my brother tons of wipies and stuff...he received like 20 packages on the day he left. He handed everything off to the new soldiers arriving in Kuwait.It's all well and good to make decisions about these men from a cushy office.
