Boehner: Pelosi Should Retract Her CIA Accusations and Apologize

Pelosi, SHOULD RESIGN! She an example of what is wrong with Washington D.C., Her goal was to remove any blame that she had with CIA actions. Every time I have seen her on the news she stumbles for words, a sure sign she is not telling the true. As they say if you tell the truth then you don't need to remember what you said.

These liberals that are being so critical of John Boehner are unbelievably misinformed and naive. If they could put aside their hatred for the Republican party long enough they'd realize that Leader Boehner is being more than fair to Speaker Pelosi. He is giving her an "out" to the serious political mess she's gotten herself into. Boehner is not calling for her resignation like many other Republicans and he only recently called for an investigation after the Speaker refused to respond to his request to either present evidence that the CIA lied to her or to apologize to the CIA for her reckless and irrational statements. Pelosi now needs to respond to Leader Boehner in an honest way; the longer she drags this out and the more misstatements she makes, the more trouble she gets herself into!

Thank God we are seeing some of the Democrats come to thier senses. Thank you for standing up for Americans and what we believe in.I would vote for you for President. Please run.
I am sickened by what this so called administration has done and continues to do almost unchecked with radical changes and an arrogant insulting attitude/as if all Americans are stupid.Obama is a traitor and he is guilty of treason.
Why can't any of you speak up? He won the election by fraud, thanks to ACORN.
Please address how Obama considers our past treatment of terrorists as devaluing America's Moral Authority when he supports abortion!
ABORTION IS TORTURE AND IMMORAL!!!!!!!!!!
God Bless You and God Bless America.

Like the idiot stating: "Just who believers(sic) Republicans any more?"
The entire Boehner column calls for the memos and facts to be released from the agency and parties involved - the exact opposite of any cover-up or lying.
Pretty pathetic how so many of today's democrats are eager to give the benefit of the doubt to terrorists, dictators, and those that call for our death on a daily basis, yet can't simply have civil discourse with conservative Americans who's apparent crime is wishing for less government involvement in our lives and lower taxes.

Speaker Pelosi is actually second in line for the Presidency, not third. The President himself is not in line.

Republicans are hunters.
Democrats prefer nesting.

Obama's head of CIA, Leon Panetta, has apparently now responded to Pelosi's accusations by saying national security should not be something to play politics with. For a long time now I have had the sense that too many Democrats are willing to some degree to sacrifice calm honest debate about national security in order to achieve the White House or other political offices. I don't think Democrats do this because they are traitors. But I think on average they are simply less interested than Republicans in national security issues, find such issues of modest importance for various reasons. Republicans are notoriously more hawkish, and that has its own downsides, but hawks are symbols of vigilance. Republicans have plenty of flaws of their own, but they are less likely lately than Democrats to be casual about national security or to sacrifice national security to some extent in order to win petty political squabbles and domestic political power. Perhaps, on balance, it's nevertheless a good thing the Democrats are now in power, but I think Pelosi should resign. That she knew about enhanced interrogation methods back in 2002, and by her own admission in early 2003, but did nothing to stop them, only later to castigate the Bush administration and suggest truth commissions and legal proceedings for the Bush administration for using those enhanced methods -- and that she now accuses the CIA of lying and not revealing those methods to her in 2002 -- even Obama's CIA director Panetta isn't buying it. It reeks. Pelosi has been willing, for partisan political advantage in these last years, to manipulate national security issues and be deceptive about them, and even now she continues with this.
