No Getting Around It: The Conclusion

By contrast, Nancy Pelosi eerily ignores this issue altogether
I encourage you to visit her web page and read the whole thing. You won't find a single reference to al Qaeda, and that's just creepy. It's as if al Qaeda in Iraq is so utterly inconsequential that it need not even be mentioned --- not even in passing -- when debating what to do about Iraq or how to conceptualize what will happen when we leave. I think it's because she is aware that most Americans are oblivious to the threat, and she does not want to contribute to their awakening (for fear of helping Bush). And the New York Times is gearing up to help her out.

Wake up, America. No one is "hyping" the threat posed by al Qaeda in Iraq, but many are in a state of denial about it (including the entire Democratic leadership). And because of the media we have today, they can easily get away with it.
Frankly, I don't see how Pelosi can behave the vacuous way she does and understand that Al Qaeda is even in Iraq. There's simply no "there there".

And she's the leader of the Congressional Democrats. Not eerie.

Frightening.
