Pelosi: Success In Iraq Due To Iran's Good Will!

Words almost fail me..honestly.

"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’t happen. Whatever the military success, and progress that may have been made, the surge didn’t accomplish its goal. And some of the success of the surge is that the goodwill of the Iranians-they decided in Basra when the fighting would end, they negotiated that cessation of hostilities-the Iranians."

This is the Speaker of the US House of Representatives, actively engaged in a
lie that not only slanders our warriors and all they've accomplished,but slanders our Iraqi allies as well.She ought to hang her head in shame.

The truth is that Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki brought the Mahdi Army to their knees in a month-long campaign that had both Iraq’s largest Sunni bloc and Ayatollah Sistani's Shiite Badr Force joining the government to rid Iraq of both al-Qaeda and the Iran backed Shiite militias. It was the Iraqi Army and their US allies that chased Iran's Shiite gangs out of Basra and pounded them in their stronghold in Sadr City until they surrendered and laid down their arms on Maliki's terms..while their leader, Moqtada al Sadr fled to Iran like a cockroach exposed to the light.

This is the same woman who led the charge in trying to legislate a defeat for American arms, who was in the vanguard of slandering General Petraeus when he came to report to Congress.

Is she really so arrogant and so self-absorbed as try to crap on what our troops have accomplished and what the Iraqi people have accomplished by giving 'credit' to our worst enemies when Iran did everything it could to sabotage those efforts? When Iran has the blood of American soldiers on its hands?

Is she really so committed to an American defeat that she has to stoop to lying about it in an effort to massage her ego?

Or is she just as dumb as a rock?

I'm not certain quite which it is - perhaps a combination of the two.

This is a unique instance in history.We've had some real doozies in positions of power in Congress before, but Nancy Pelosi has carved a niche for herself that is unique.
