Pelosi Won't Attend Petraeus Briefing
From ABCNews:"She can't make the briefing tomorrow," a Democratic aide told ABC
News Tuesday evening. "But she spoke with the general via phone today at some
length."
A Pelosi aide said the speaker on Tuesday requested a one-on-one
meeting with Petraeus but that could not be worked out. He said their phone
conversation lasted 30 minutes.
Last week, House Democratic leaders were
criticized by their Republican counterparts when they initially declined an
invitation from Petraeus to brief House members on the status of the war due to
"scheduling conflicts."
Just stop up your ears and cut the troop funding, right?
