What is she planning to sic Moveon.org on the General again? Are the liberals going to launch a smear campaign against this centuries version of Patton?

The Iraqis are doing the fighting. They are achieving the balance that we demanded of them and yet the liberals are whine. I just don't get it the liberals are obviously so deeply invested in defeat and blinded by the reality on the ground that they are out of touch with that reality.

“House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) warned Gen. David Petraeus and Ambassador Ryan Crocker on Thursday “not to put a shine on recent events” in Iraq when they testify before Congress next week.

“I hope we don’t hear any glorification of what happened in Basra,” said Pelosi, referring to a recent military offensive against Shiite militants in the city led by the Iraqi government and supported by U.S. forces. “

“not to put a shine on recent events”

Using that type of language, I would have thought she was speaking to Sen. Stabenow's (D - Mich) husband.......

How about putting Botox on a face that looks like a baseball glove that was left out in the back yard all winter?

Well, General Pelosi certainly has a better grasp on matters military then General Petraeus, doesn’t she? Why doesn’t she just deliver his testimony for him?

These people scream bloody murder at the mere perception that any censorship is coming from the right, however.

Pelosi’s statement seems to have been written in Tehran.

"Pelosi wondered why the U.S. was caught off guard by the offensive..."

Well gee! Had we pulled out when Pelosi wanted us to pull out the concept of being "caught off guard" would be moot!

Frikin' Traitor Democrats!

She is wildly out of bounds on this. She has no right to tell Gen. Petraeus what to say, nor to infer that he would not tell the complete truth.

Have you no shame, Madame Speaker?

“I hope we don’t hear any glorification of what happened in Basra,” said Pelosi

“I hope we don’t hear any further personally-destructive negativity from Dhimmi politicians, who know nothing of what happened in Basra.

"Loyal Americans gladly hear from the General Petraeus, who actually knows what happened in Basra.” says HF.

I guess she made a corkscrew landing in Basra and ducked sniper fire to get firsthand information that General Petraus wouldn’t be privy to. Or maybe she just used a corkscrew to open some rotgut from her district.

Granny Pelosi says when this House wants you to have an opinion we will issue you one; meanwhile, shut the f**k up, Pet, you tinhorn napoleonic ninkumpoop.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) warned Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower on Thursday “not to put a shine on recent events” in Belgium when they testify before Congress next week.

“I hope we don’t hear any glorification of what happened in Bastogne,” said Pelosi.
