Pelosi in Iraq to see for herself how war is going

14 minutes ago

U.S. House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi (news, bio, voting record), an outspoken critic of U.S. President George Bush's plan to send more troops to Iraq, arrived in Baghdad on Friday for talks with U.S. and Iraqi officials.

Pelosi, a key player in the Democratic takeover of Congress, has helped lead opposition in Washington to Bush's retooled Iraq strategy which envisages sending 21,500 reinforcements to help quell raging sectarian violence, especially in Baghdad.

She has accused Bush, a long-time foe, of playing politics with soldiers' lives and said after his State of the Union address to Congress this week that he had ignored the concerns of the American public over the unpopular war.

A U.S. embassy official said Pelosi, the first woman speaker of the House, had arrived in Iraq at the head of a six-member congressional delegation for meetings with Iraqi and U.S. officials but did not plan any public appearances.

The delegation includes John Murtha (news, bio, voting record), a Democratic Congressman from Pennsylvania, who has also been vocal in his criticism of the Bush administration's handling of the war.

There will be NO pictures. Much like there were no pics when jon carry went to Iraq.

The ENEMEDIA will not show the American public how much our troops despise these people!

They are in Iraq seeking to pump up and have strategy sessions with THEIR troops. Al Queda has not been performing up to their standards lately.

Guaranteed photos with women, Hispanics, and blacks, with quotes from military personnel against the war (whether truthful or not).

Every time a high level delegations goes over there, the enemy sees this as a chance to put on a show. Do they realize they are contributing to the mayhem. That place should be under strict quarantine.

If Nanci can stp Democracy in Iraq, then it will spell the down fall for democracy in Afghanistan, Lebanon, and Palestine, too. If Nanci has any luck, the Middle East can remain brutal, oppressive to men and women alike, and a threat to western civilization for many years to come. You go girl (sarcasm)
