WASHINGTON, Jan. 30 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Speaker Nancy Pelosi and members of the bipartisan congressional delegation that recently returned from Iraq and Afghanistan held a news conference this afternoon to discuss their experiences and observations. Below are Pelosi's remarks:
"As is appropriate, my first trip outside of the United States as Speaker of the House was to visit our men and women in uniform -- to thank them for their courage, their patriotism, and their sacrifices that they are making and that their families are making for our country.
"As a tribute to them, I wanted to bring the highest-level delegation possible -- people who are respected for their commitment to our national security and their concern for the welfare of our troops -- members of Congress who understand how America must protect its power and project its values.

"We went to Iraq convinced, I am speaking for myself, that the war could not be won solely by military means. Our military has done their jobs excellently, but they cannot be expected to do all that needs to be done alone. We went with the hope and expectation that what we would see in Iraq was some coordinated effort to have political solutions to relieve the civil strife and violence there and diplomatic efforts to bring stability to the region. Sadly, we saw no evidence of either.

At least she admits they went there "CONVINCED" it could not be won and found exactly what they wanted to find, in the few short hours there.
As for visiting and thanking the troops and the great reception they gave the delegation, where are the photos?
A little backsliding by Nancy. So now she thinks it can be won?
She is a Doofus with a capital "D".
Thanks for oyour service to our country Nancy. We are hanging on your every word. Pray continue your most interesting discourse...
What a ditz.
Thank you for that enlightening brief, General Pelosi.
She has a real steep learning curve.
Yes it can, but that is not what we are doing. But if we wanted to we could.
I want to know exactly what they mean by "political solution".
The bad news is that is can easily be lost solely by political means.
small edit required.
Duh! Wars are always won by military solutions, you idiot! Peace is obtained by war, you liberal socialist *****.
What a "genius"! When has a victory ever been just about war?
Ah yes, the old pacification and appeasement routine when bullets, bombs and the loss of American lives won't do.
Yeah, Nancy, Congress needs to help too!
Well Nancy, it can't be won without it either.
This is the way you spread your message when you want to hold a news conference and the press doesn't show up.
In other words, since this is not legitimate "news," Old Bella had to resort to paying to spread her lies. I hope it cost her a bundle!
If it's from USNewswire, it may be an idle curiosity, but it is most certainly not "news."
It's kinda of interesting... I've noticed most of the stuff put out by USNewswire comes from the RATS. Maybe USNewswire is a front for the DNC or Soros.
Oh, and FWIW, releases from USNewswire DO NOT need to be excerpted.
What else does she want them to use, harsh language?
I want to know exactly what they mean by "political solution".
