October 25, 2007 (LPAC)--Economist and Democratic leader Lyndon LaRouche said Thursday afternoon, that "It is time that Nancy Pelosi should leave her position. The time to go has come, lady. Your policies are diametrically opposed to the most vital strategic interests of the United States."

Representative Pelosi has taken Dick Cheney's impeachment "off the table"; she has taken Congressional blocking of a war on Iran "off the table"; she has taken large-scale investment of new Federal credit for infrastructure "off the table"; under her leadership, Congress has done worse than nothing to stop mass foreclosures. "Congress' popular approval has collapsed from more than 70% to 11% in less than a year," LaRouche emphasized. "Nancy Pelosi is Mis-Leadership."

"Representative Pelosi is the instrument that is covering up for the logjam on any policies actually capable of solving the war crisis or the economic collapse," LaRouche said. "She's the policy instrument of Fascist Banker Felix Rohatyn, and his hedge fund circles' grip on the Democratic Party's policies; and of George Shultz, who designed the Bush Administration and the Schwarzenegger clown-government of California.

In fact," LaRouche said, "the two leading national Democrats, who are both from California"--Pelosi, and Sen. Dianne Feinstein--"are both under the thumb of Rohatyn and Shultz. And other Democrats in Congress, who oppose the war, are capitulating to them."

"Any Congressman who's opposed to the war policy, but is continuing to support Nancy Pelosi after her action against impeaching Dick Cheney, and on related, destructive economic policies, is really rolling out the red carpet for war" with Iran, or Syria, or beyond, LaRouche stated.

"It doesn't make any difference that they complain about the tassels on that carpet. That's all it means when they publicly oppose some mechanism of the process by which new wars are being prepared, but don't act to remove the author of the war policy. That's what they're doing when they agree to Pelosi's leadership of the House, and that `impeachment is off the table,' but oppose the supplemental budget, or some characteristic of the funding of the war policy."

"And why is Dick Cheney known as ‘Dr. Strangelove?’" LaRouche asked. "Look who he's married to!"

As for Rep. Dennis Kucinich's announcement that he will advance a privileged resolution on Cheney's impeachment before Thanksgiving, forcing a House debate on his impeach-Cheney resolution supported by 21 other Members, LaRouche said, "That could be supported."
