(Video) Pelosi exposes Bush hypocrisy about timetables

Just minutes after President Bush vetoed the Democrats Iraq spending bill because he objected to a withdrawal date, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi shot back and took issue with Bush's inconsistent logic.  It was George W. Bush who, back in 1999, called on President Clinton to implement a timetable for U.S. withdrawal from Kosovo:

PELOSI: The President said in his comments that he did not believe in timelines, and he spoke out very forcefully against them.  Yet, in 1999, on June 5th, then-Governor Bush said about President Clinton, "I think it is important for the President to lay out a timetable as to how long they will be involved and when they would be withdrawn."  Despite his past statements, President Bush refuses to apply the same standards to his own activities.

Not that I expect consistency out of this Administration anyway.  I stopped expecting that a long time ago.
