Another Pelosi Failure

Now it seems that Nancy Pelosi can't even deliver on a irrelevant, symbolic gesture for a small, insignificant special interest group.

According to Congressional and Bush administration sources, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is now unlikely to bring a resolution which would label the deaths of Armenians in a conflict more than 90 years ago as "genocide".

Pelosi, as recently as Sunday on "This Week", has repeatedly said she would call the controversial but nonbinding resolution for a vote despite the opposition of the Bush administration and warnings that it could damage U.S. relations with Turkey.

President Bush called Speaker Pelosi on Monday night and asked her to pull the bill. But Congressional sources say that Pelosi is telling House members that she will not bring the bill to the floor without majority support.

At least seven House members have withdrawn as co-sponsors of the bill and several more are expected to follow. Key Pelosi ally Rep. John Murtha, D-Penn., is also lobbying against a vote.

Key House members continue to canvass members but don't expect a vote this year.

This is a good one to let fail. Actually it has that in common with all of her failures. Nevertheless, Nancy Pelosi managed to cost Americans billions of dollar as oil prices soared thanks to her gratuitous provocation of Turkey.

If we're going to have a Democrat Congress, thank God that it's led by bumblers like Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid.
