Nancy Pelosi never fails to amaze me. Ace of Spades<\/a> explains because I’m nearly speechless;<\/p>\n

Having blurted out, probably accidentally, that the surge was in fact successful, Granny Rictus McBotoxImplants now scrambles to credit the enemy nation murdering<\/strong> our troops<\/em> with the victory our troops accomplished through blood, sweat, tears, and more blood.<\/p>\n

It’s not our troops. It’s not Petraeus’ leadership. It’s not the Iraqis turning on the Al Qaeda murderers. No — it’s Iran’s goodwill.<\/em><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Isn’t that grand? The wonderfully rational Ahmadinejad finally decided he’d killed enough Iraqis and Americans and stopped. From Abe Greenwald of Commentary<\/a> magazine;<\/p>\n

Asked if she saw any evidence of the surge\u2019s positive impact on her May 17 trip to Iraq she responded:<\/p>\n

Well, the purpose of the surge was to provide a secure space, a time for the political change to occur to accomplish the reconciliation. That didn\u2019t happen. Whatever the military success, and progress that may have been made, the surge didn\u2019t accomplish its goal. And some of the success of the surge is that the goodwill of the Iranians-they<\/em> decided in Basra when the fighting would end, they <\/em>negotiated that cessation of hostilities-the Iranians.<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This is an inexcusable slander. Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki brought the Sadrists militias to their knees in a month-long battle that enabled Iraq\u2019s largest Sunni bloc to rejoin the government. Furthermore, when Pelosi met with Prime Minister al-Maliki in Mosul she sang quite a different tune. She had \u201cwelcomed Iraq\u2019s progress in passing a budget as well as oil legislation, and a bill paving the way for the provincial elections in the fall that are expected to more equitably redistribute power among local officials,\u201d and stated, \u201cWe\u2019re assured the elections will happen here, they will be transparent, they will be inclusive and they will take Iraq closer to the reconciliation we all want it to have.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Is it possible that anyone else on this planet is so prepared to throw our troops, the Iraqis, under the proverbial bus faster? Michael Goldfarb of The Weekly Standard<\/a> writes;<\/p>\n

Just two months ago, Pelosi said<\/a>, “I hope we don’t hear any glorification of what happened in Basra.” It seems she was only talking about glorifying the role of the U.S. military and our Iraqi allies, who were in fact victorious. Apparently glorification of the enemy is still allowed.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This is the extent to which the Left goes to make a political point. These are the people we’ve chosen to represent the people of this nation. I’d expect that from some back-bencher in Canada, not our own Speaker of the House – third in line to being our head of state. If this doesn’t drag those conservatives out to vote, I don’t know what could.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
