So how hard did Mookie and the Iranians laugh at her...?
on the up side, she probably just ensured a lot more republican military votes - they don't appreciate a plan that throws their hard work and sacrifice and successes down the toilet - but in her convoluted brain, she probably thinks the troops will cheer her plans -
These traitors still haven't grasped the difference between this and Viet Nam - nor the vast difference between a conscripted military and a volunteer one.
That arrogant stupid Bitch. What else can be said when this idiot tells our ally, whose people are dying fighting a terrorist enemy, that the "war must end". What a sad sad day for America. How disgraceful.
Nancy Pelosi expressing appreciation to our troops for their patriotism and their courage is somewhat akin to Osama bin Laden thanking the Pope for his belief in Christ and support for women’s human rights.
Oops!
Speaker Pelosi has "overlooked" that we're still waiting for the Democrats to reveal their "new direction" for Iraq, their so-called plan for Iraq that helped them to win control of Congress in '06.
Also, maybe the same dog that ate the Democrat's "new direction" for Iraq plan also ate Pelosi's explanation for the following.
Speaker Pelosi is possibly in contempt of Sec. 3 of the 14th A. for the following reason. Just as Jane Fonda went to North Vietnam to embarrass American officials, Pelosi made a trip to Syria in '07 to embarrass President Bush. The problem with Pelosi's trip, however, is that given that she had taken an oath to defend the Constitution, she arguably crossed the line established by Sec. 3 by giving comfort to the USA's enemies. Indeed, I would argue that, because of Pelosi's high profile trip to Syria and Sec. 3, Pelosi is no longer legally a congressperson, let alone Speaker of the House.
Bet you that her statement of what she said is NOT what she really said. Pelosi flutters about making herself important at a time when no one was paying any attention to her.
I wonder if she just wanted to make it clear that the Dems are going to win and she will be their mediator with the new Pres. Obama.
However did such an idiot ever rise to become Speaker of the House?
Even Time is dissing her:

“In the meetings in Baghdad today, I made clear that the war must be brought to an end”
She is talking to the wrong people. She needs to meet with the terrorists and get things straightened out.
Bush Criticism of Appeasement Angers Dems
May 17, 2008
President Bush’s speech to the Israeli parliament sparked a series of denunciations from high ranking Democrats across the country. The President’s characterization of negotiation with terrorist regimes—like the one in Iran that has called for the destruction of Israel—as “a foolish delusion” and akin to Neville Chamberlain’s negotiations with Hitler appears to have touched a nerve in Democratic circles.
Although Bush did not specifically name anyone in his speech, Democratic presidential front runner, Senator Barack Obama (Ill.) called Bush’s comments an “appalling attack on my ‘peace through concessions’ strategy for making America safe. Look, we can’t afford to get involved in a quarrel in a far-away country between people of whom we know nothing.” Obama pointed to the ten-year grace period for Jews to leave Palestine that former president Jimmy Carter negotiated with Hamas as an example of the type of agreement he would seek with “so-called terrorist regimes.”
Obama’s rival for the Democratic nomination, Senator Hillary Clinton (N.Y.) asserted that “while I do not agree with Senator Obama’s appeasement approach, I think it is improper for a ‘lame-duck’ president to commit the nation to policies that could bind a subsequent administration.”
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) fumed that “Bush is undermining my hard work. I went to these people on ‘bended knee.’ I wore the Hijab to symbolize willingness to submit. We were gaining traction toward peace for our time. This partisan attack on Democratic policies is beneath the dignity of the office of the president.”
McCain campaign spokesman Tucker Bounds called Obama’s reaction “hysterical.” “The guy has really ‘stepped in it’ this time,” Bounds chortled. “Here we have the President making a perfectly reasonable remark to the Jewish people who were nearly exterminated by a war brought on by a policy of appeasement and Obama goes ballistic. Such passion in defense of appeasement is a stunning revelation of what an Obama Administration portends for this country.”
Outrage at the President’s speech wasn’t confined to his domestic political opponents. Muhammad Barakei, a Muslim member of the Israeli parliament called the remarks “tantamount to a declaration of war. Hitler was one of the great visionaries of the 20th century. Bush’s insult of him can only fan the flames of hostility toward America for its efforts on behalf of the Zionist conspiracy to conquer the world.”

Yeah, I'm sure that went over well. Yes, Nancy, everyone wants the war to come to an end. We just disagree on how it should end.
We Americans and the Iraqis want it to end by victory over the terrorists, which is underway now.
You, al Qaeda, Iran and Syria want the U.S. to surrender.
