Pelosi: We Support the CANADIAN Troops
From QandO, where they can tell a difference between U.S. and Canadian uniforms.
Hey, it could be worse...
She could have instead used the photo of her meeting with this weak-chinned ophthalmologist, with whom she may not be visiting with any more.
(Via Hot Air), where they note that Democrats have a history of not knowing what our uniforms look like.
The Human Ashtray is in for a rough weekend.

(which is ironic in itself, but a whole 'nother discussion)
If that is true, I am really not surprised that she and her staffers/interns would have accidently let this slip.

Just so we are clear- Bush and company opposed pay raises for our troops, calling them unnecessary. Yet you are in an uproar because Pelosi is increasing veteran’s benefits, but a staffer or webdork used a picture of a Canadian Officer.
Thank goodness the adults are in charge.

Not necessarily. They are however, hasty fools for making such an egregious mistake.
Posted by: Purple Avenger at June 24, 2007 10:44 AMWell, I suppose they could have used some Walter Reed pictures, but they likely intended to show what they want veterans' healthcare to be (i.e. like the Canadians have it) rather than what it is now. So, the question is, how do you know it was a mistake at all?
