As the White House and congressional leaders struggle to reach a
compromise on a new war funding bill, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi
accused President Bush on Friday of a war strategy that ignores the
public's will and internal strife in Iraq.

Appearing at Rep. Jan Schakowsky's Ultimate Women's Power Lunch, a
fundraiser hosted by the North Shore Democratic congresswoman at a
downtown Chicago hotel, Pelosi (D-Calif.) defined the Iraq war as "the
biggest ethical issue facing our country."

She questioned the ethics of sending troops to war "under a false
pretense without a strategy for success," without proper equipment and
training and without "demanding accountability from the Iraqi
government while we dishonored our commitment to our veterans here at
home."

"In the elections, when the American people were calling for a new
direction, the one place where they called for it in the clearest
possible way was in the war in Iraq," Pelosi told an audience of about
2,000 people.

"They wanted the war to wind down," she said.

"Instead, the president has escalated it. He has a tin ear in terms of
listening to the people and a blind eye as to what is going on in
Iraq."
