Something tells me that impeachment is back on the table!

Pelosi warns Bush shouldn't 'abuse power' on troop escalation:

01-15) 12:37 PST SAN FRANCISCO -- House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, returning to her hometown of San Francisco, strongly warned today that President Bush 'should not abuse his power' with regard to troop escalation in the Iraq war and said it is the duty of Congress to 'exercise oversight over his power.'

'If the president doesn't have a plan, Democrats will hold him accountable,' Pelosi said in her first public appearance outside Washington since her election as speaker Jan. 4.

Regarding Bush's decision to push ahead with an escalation of about 21,500 troops in Iraq, she said, 'Congress also has its role, and neither of us should abuse our power.'
