Kevin Rudd is Nancy Pelosi (hes flipedflopped on Iraq)

[brettdale]

The New Australian Prime Minister must be related to Nancy Pelsoi, remember all last year, when Nancy was screaming "IMPEACH IMPEACH IMPEACH IMPEACH IMPEACH" and when she won, she decided not to.

Well one of Kevin Rudd's main policy was we will bring troops home from Iraq.

Its only been 36 hours since he won, and he is now, NOT going to bring troops home.

Australia is staying in Iraq.

I once wrote the only honest politician in the USA is Dennis Kunich.

I should of said, the only Honest Politican in the world is Dennis Kunich.

I wonder what lies, our New Zealand Politicans will say next year during our election cycle.

1. Not true.

Rudd is going to begin a phased withdrawal of Australia's 550 combat troops.

2. when did this happen (the not bringing Aussie troops out??_

[brettdale]

10. It came across radio New Zealand

That there wont be a pull out on Iraq, but there missions in Iraq will be different.

3. Nancy Pelosi NEVER supported impeachment. Quit being dishonest.

Or is that too much to ask?

[brettdale]

11. Nancy didnt support impeachment????

Then how come all through 2006, nearly every post I read here on DU was saying , Nancy supported impeachment?

4. Oh here we go

Pelosi never made any such promise prior to the election. If she did, show us the evidence.

Nor have you shown us the evidence of Rudd's alleged flip-floppery with a link.

5. Politics is the art of the possible.

The policy is to get the troops out. The problem is to not cause a vacuum
which would occur if it was instantaneous.
Kevin Rudd does intend to maintain diplomatic relations with Iraq.
Some military personell will have to be stationed there to protect them.
These things need to be sorted intelligently.

6. So is this Kevin Rudd guy related to Phil Rudd of Ac/Dc??

It's not like Australia's all that big of a place. They could be related.

7. My Australian son-in-law is thrilled

that John Howard is gone. Rudd has to be better.

8. no i don't remember Pelosi screeching Impeach , impeach, impeach.

Know why? It. Never. Happened. I don't think you're lying, but this goes to the fallibility of memory and creating a narrative that fits what we believe.

[Caution]

9. Rudd promised to withdraw all COMBAT troops, which he is doing. He is leaving the support

troops in place as he stated throughout his campaign that he would do.

Additionally Nancy Pelosi never *ever* supported impeachment.
