Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi. Pelosi, has made a surprise visit to Baghdad where she urged Iraqi leaders to pursue political solutions to end spiraling sectarian violence. But US and Iraqi officials announced tough new tactics to starve sectarian violence of outside support with US forces now targeting Iranian agents in Iraq for capture or killing.(AFP/Mannie Garcia )
.. she advocated the Iraqis reaching political solutions rather than relying on a surge in US troops to end sectarian violence.
"The sooner Iraqi leaders make necessary political accommodations, including amending their constitution to resolve outstanding differences among all Iraqi communities, the better the chances for ending the sectarian violence," the lawmakers said in a statement released by Pelosi's office after the meetings.
They said that in their meetings they stressed their belief that Iraqis must take "primary responsibility" for the country's security.
"The delegation's view is that American forces should quickly begin to transition from a combat role to one focused on training, counter-terrorism, force protection, and controlling Iraq's borders."
Sumbich, why didn't WE think of that?

The mind boggles to wonder why it was the Nancy woman wasn't down there at that pet market picking out a plump puppy for dinner.
She doesn't have a clue about the enemy, does she?
Nancy so reminds me of a George Carlin (I think ) gag... He said his mom used to say "Son,Dear the better man walks away from a fight" when you did that, everybody else on the block just thought they were a punk !!!!
Sick!! Other words fail me at this point!!!!
She wants a political solution.
But you know she and her meg million dollar husband are out for the kill with their business deals.
She's trying the same strategy that's worked so well to control violence in all the Democrat controlled cities here in the U.S.</s>
Great, now Iraq is infected with Pilosium 210. What a waste.
No she doesn't. She believes that it's just two groups of schoolage bullies fighting each other and all you have to do is sit them down and talk nice to them and everything will be fine. That doesn't work when both groups are intent on waging terror on each other. Before you can sit them down, you have to hit them about the head and shoulders to get their attention, and keep the threat there to prevent the violence from rekindling.
Of course, I don't believe that Pelosi, Murtha, et.al, care a wit about a political settlement. They just want to make our efforts there and the President look bad. Their view, the less power he and the executive branch has, the more for them. They are playing a dangerous game as the foes of the US will see that as weakness and exploit it if possible in a way that is catastrophic for all of us.
are all these people loaded on botox? jesus they don't look human
Take her for a bird hunt.
I wish all the loony leftists would learn, first hand, that talk is cheap. Anybody can say/promise anything they want. Deeds are what matters.
"Can't we all just get along??"
These watermelons just don't get it. Either they are insanely stupid or they really just want the entire world to flip-off the US.
Madame President. ;')
