Pelosi Criticizes Bush on Iraq Policies


TWASHINGTON (AP) - House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi lashed out at President Bush on Thursday, saying his Iraq policies show incompetence and the only conclusion to draw is that ``the emperor has no clothes.''

``I believe that the president's leadership and the actions taken in Iraq demonstrate an incompetence in terms of knowledge, judgment and experience,'' the California Democrat told reporters at a Capitol Hill news conference.

Democrats, including presidential candidate John Kerry, have been critical of Bush's stewardship of Iraq, but Pelosi's comments were the strongest to date.

``This president should have known ... when you decide to go to war you have to know what the consequences of your action are and how you can accomplish the mission,'' Pelosi said. ``There was plenty of intelligence to say there would be chaos in Iraq following the fall of Baghdad.''

Bush's policy ``of ignoring his own State Department about what would happen after the fall of Baghdad and ignoring the intelligence as to the chaotic situation that would exist ... carries with it a responsibility for all of the costs of war,'' she said. ``And that's not only the president, that is all of us any time we vote to send our young people into harm's way.

``The results of his action are what undermine his leadership, not my statements,'' she said. ``The emperor has no clothes. When are people going to face the reality?''
