Pelosi on the failed effort in Brazil?

Posted by Moonage on 15 May 2006 | Tagged as: International Politics

Another night of gang attacks against Brazilian police and civilians in Sao Paulo left 23 more people dead, bringing the three-day toll to 78, local CBN radio said citing police sources.

The weekend onslaught by the powerful "First Capital Command", the biggest criminal gang in the southeastern Brazilian state, has left several dozen police officers dead.

The prison-based gang also launched rebellions in more than 50 jails and penitentiaries, taking numerous hostages.

On Sunday Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva offered Sao Paulo Governor Claudio Lembo federal help to restore order, but Lembo declined the assistance, according to a CBN radio report.

The gang violence was apparently sparked in reaction to the transfer of 765 gang members from their current prisons to higher-security facilities.

Nancy Pelosi immediately commented that this is yet more evidence that Bush’s failure to secure guns in Brazil has increased the risk to people in Brazil and around the world who might be targets of terrorists.  She continued:  €œThe chaotic security situation in Brazil today is a direct result of mistakes the President made by not invading Brazil in wake of their recent elections.  The missing high explosives, nuclear equipment that doesn’t exist, and other materials I can’t remember unfortunately demonstrate that the world€™s security will be diminished by those mistakes for years to come.€

( This is parody.  I really do think I have to state that CLEARLY any more.  I am, however, waiting for someone to draw the correlation between the number of people dying in "civilized" countries daily and those dying in Iraq that signifies to them what we are doing there is a failure. Whatsayou New York Times and CNN? If more people are dying in Sao Paulo than Baghdad due to lawlessness and ethnic and cultural violenece, what do you think caused that? How, in your minds, is that the fault of George Bush? I’m not holding my breath. )
