It is heartening that Ms Pelosi is aware that there are mysterious aspects to shaping a bill for Congress to establish a form of Cap, [Allocate] & Trade.

Were she to go flat out to get a bill ready for Obama to sign prior to Copenhagen,
very bad outcomes could result, including the US lacking sufficient leeway in negotiations for agreement to be reached, and Obama's international credit being squandered by the failure.

And anyone who thinks that America has only to tell the world to "Jump!" for the world to ask meekly "How high?"
lost touch with the changing reality of international relations some years ago.

The global climate treaty is surely the pre-eminent requirement, and outranks all national plans both in priority and in structural influence.

So is Ms Pelosi unaware of this when she refers to 'mysterious' aspects ? Or is America now so indoctrinated to the cult of nationalist supremacy that she cannot acknowledge the reality in plain language in public ?
