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.

LOL. And with good reason.
LOL! Good one!!!
If Hoyer is smart, he will stay as far away from these morons as he can get.
It is seared, seared into my memory!
The troops were looking for reinforcements for OUR side, not the enemy's side!
LOL! I think your 5000 word limit is up, Mister! ;*)

I served my time in the Army and can assure you every outfit has a couple of liberal, anti America assholes in it.
This group of anti-war polititions had a list of these GI's in Irac before they left America. When they interview this selected group of scum GI's, the lamestream media tag-alongs will make headlines about the "mutiny" occuring among the troops in Irac.
(Last one,MAYBE!!!;-)
Calling all NCO's
I am sure they can find future candidate tank helmet photo opportunity for her......
I just spoke to one of our wounded warriors. He said they will find maybe 10 out of 100 that are against the mission and then come back and say "every soldier I talked to blah blah blah"
(OK,Justa,I promise,this is it!;-)
LOL!
I'm having a hard time believing you...but am enjoying the display!
I agree with you, nobobdy wants anyone to be hurt, but then why announce the fact beforehand about their trip, then? What genius decided on that one? Bush, Cheney and just about every other high ranking gov't official announce their trips to Iraq after they return for obvious security reasons. Are Pelosi and co. just stupid or is it more than that?
(Ok,that's it!)
Give them both weapons, put them on the front, and see how long they last. This is the part where our military leaders ask for suggestions.
