Pelosi warns Petraeus on Iraq testimony
politico ^ | 4/3/08 | DANIEL W. REILLY

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.

Although powerful Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr agreed to a ceasefire after six days of fighting, Pelosi wondered why the U.S. was caught off guard by the offensive and questioned how the ceasefire was achieved, saying “the terms were probably dictated from Iran.”

I'm thinking in Randy Rhodes terms right now. I wish I could slap this woman silly, but I'm from MD and I may be prosecuted for that. (You can't say you're so mad you'd like to strangle her, since that would be considered a threat these days rather than a term of frustration).

She's not fit to even kiss the General's toenail.

Dear Republican Congressional Candidates:

You now have your official sound bite. For the love of all that’s holy, DO something with it.

Typical hyperbole. She says “She hopes...”, media translates and morphs it to “She has issued a warning..”. The sad thing is that the media likely understood and translated correctly.

Pelousy doesn't want to hear the truth.

Oh, and BTW, Daniel W. Reilly at politico, the “powerful Shiite cleric Mookie” was crying like a little girl in surrender and has gone back into hiding.

Biased DNC propaganda rag that it is.

“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.”

They are the Bizarros of the real world; their morals, beliefs, and goals are the exact opposite of what ordinary, red-blooded Americans hold.

I bet the general will probably heap praise on the event just to spite Pelosi. I sure would if I was in his place.

Her unwaivering devotion to a party that has no integrity, lacks any moral compass and seeks the defeat of our own military for political gain makes her comment insulting to all who have worn the uniform of our country, but specifically General Petraeus.

Pelosi has no concept that people of honor exist in our society who will, when questioned, respond with facts, precision and accuracy because they place honor and honesty above personal gain.

If Pelosi possessed the character necessary, she would be ashamed of the disgusting comment she directed at one of our nation’s finest military commanders. She is pathetic.
