House and Senate Democrats are so divided over an exit strategy in Iraq that Nancy Pelosi House Minority Leader has had to redefine her position on Iraq and now believes that her fellow Democrats should not seek a unified position on an exit strategy in Iraq.

She is also saying that differing positions are a source of strength for the party. Imagine that....differing positions offer strength. Pelosi believes this only because she has been unable with all her pleading and cajoling to bring her fellow Democrats to a unified consensus on an exit strategy in Iraq.

Most Democrats but not all believe that President Bush has mismanaged the war and a new course is needed. But according to Pelosi "there is no one Democratic voice and there is no one Democratic position."

Pelosi insists that the war is a matter of individual beliefs and Democrats should be free to think for themselves. Imagine that from a Democrat who failed to get her own party to agree on an exit strategy but demands that Bush adopt "The Pelosi Exit Strategy" which is one of defeat and demands an immediate withdrawal as well as advertising to the enemy our intentions and when we will pull out of Iraq.

Can the party of FDR which has been taken over by the Legion of Defeat lead by Nancy Pelosi, John P. Murtha, Harry Reid and Howard Dean hope to win in 2006.

One never knows does one?
