Press Clippings

On Nancy Pelosi:
"The No. 2 Democrat in the House tried to dismiss talk Thursday of what Pelosi knew or didn't know. Majority Leader Steny Hoyer said the discussion "is a distraction from the central point": determining what happened during the Bush administration and making sure it never happens again."

Question:
If the Democrats don't know what happened, why do they want to make sure it never happens again?


On Somalia, which is fighting a losing battle with Islamist insurgents:
"But after discussing Somalia on Wednesday, the U.N. Security Council said it would not send a peacekeeping force until the security situation improves."

Question:
Isn't improving the security situation what a peacekeeping force is supposed to do? If the security situation were all right, there would be no need to send the force.
