You notice that too? It's not just me?

I thought it was the shadow of Satan showing through.

When the new strategy starts to show fruit, Nancy will now be positioned to take the credit.

DNC statement: Speaker Pelosi's speaking truth to power in Iraq in January 2007 is what turned the situation around, not those silly soldiers and their silly surge. It was her superior diplomatic prowess that made the difference, and caused Maliki to see the light.

The California Democrat is second in line to assume the US presidency, behind Vice President Dick Cheney.

Reports by Arabic interpreters that Al-Maliki said in response to that disclosure "This twit? Are you kidding me?" could not be confirmed at press time.

Clueless.

She wants a political solution to "sectarian violence." LOL

Maybe they should offer Sadr some additional earmarks. /s

"We have every right to go after those Iranian paramilitary intelligence agents engaged in this activity inside Iraq," Burns told reporters.

How about the leaders of this effort in Iran???
Why should they go safely to bed each night while they lead an effort that kills American Soldiers in Iraq?

"She wants a political solution."

In his statement before the Senate Armed Services Committee, General Petraeus said that security had to be established before Iraq could move forward politically or economically.The following quote speaks to that.

"Some of the members of this committee have observed that there is no military solution to the problems of Iraq. They are correct.

Ultimate success in Iraq will be determined by actions in the Iraqi political and economic arenas on such central issues as governance, the amount of power devolved to the provinces and possibly regions, the distribution of oil revenues, national reconciliation and resolution of sectarian differences, and so on. Success will also depend on improvements in the capacity of Iraq’s ministries, in the provision of basic services, in the establishment of the rule of law, and in economic development.

It is, however, exceedingly difficult for the Iraqi government to come to grips with the toughest issues it must resolve while survival is the primary concern of so many in Iraq’s capital. For this reason, military action to improve security, while not wholly sufficient to solve Iraq’s problems, is certainly necessary. And that is why additional U.S. and Iraqi forces are moving to Baghdad."

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.

Killing works for me. Although best they be hanged as spies after being captured and thoroughly interrogated.

She doesn't have a clue about the enemy, does she?

That's more like it, don't you think?

[El Gato]

She's "Madame Chairwoman", and the best she can come up with is:

Can't you all just get along?

How about the leaders of this effort in Iran??? Why should they go safely to bed each night while they lead an effort that kills American Soldiers in Iraq?

Have Patience my FRiend. It won't take much of it either, if I'm reading the tea leaves correctly.
