Pelosi Credits Iran’s “Goodwill” for Surge Success

In an interview yesterday with the San Francisco Chronicle, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi claimed the U.S. troop surge failed to accomplish its goal. She then partially credited the success of the troop surge to “the goodwill of the Iranians,” claiming that they were responsible for ending violence in the southern city of Basra.

Asked if she saw any evidence of the surge’s positive impact on her May 17 trip to Iraq she responded:

Well, the purpose of the surge was to provide a secure space, a time for the political change to occur to accomplish the reconciliation. That didn’t happen. Whatever the military success, and progress that may have been made, the surge didn’t accomplish its goal. And some of the success of the surge is that the goodwill of the Iranians-they decided in Basra when the fighting would end, they negotiated that cessation of hostilities-the Iranians.

This is an inexcusable slander.

Pelosi accurately represents her district.

She is a lying BIT--! Sadr (safely hiding in Iran) had his troops butt kicked and killed by mostly Iraqi forces assisted by US Forces.

Each and every time she and her ilk make statements such as above it gives "aid and comfort" to the enemy and causes the deaths of Iraqi and American soldiers.

Pelosi is one of the main reasons I’m happy I left Kalifornia.
(Boxer and Feinstein are two more lol)

Perhaps we could just drop her on Tehran...at least she’d scare a few people to death. ;-)

[gathersnomoss]

There is always hope. But, she will not be voted out of her office, ever.

MANY SEETHING PATRIOTS

[gathersnomoss]

No one will ask the three suspects anything about Pelosi’s traitorous remarks. She is the puppet master, who must have intel on all of her puppets.

[gathersnomoss]

General Petraeus should stand next to Bush and call Pelosi out.

Now, back to the real world... Bush will do nothing!!!!!!!!!!

And McLame will do nothing!!!!!!!!

Very weak, and pathetic!

[Boonie]

I think there will be some kind of revolution in the next 10-20 years...Don’t know what kind, but a revolution for sure...

[gathersnomoss]

I have a simpler idea, annex California. They will never side with America.

[Sigurdrifta]

Something like (may not be an exact quote):

“An appeaser feeds the crocodile, thereby hoping that the crocodile will eat him last.”

[roses of sharon]

I am listening to the podcast now, will let you know what I hear.

[Banjoguy]

This woman is loony tunes..has been for a long time.

[CharlesWayneCT]

Well, I guess we should declare the elections of 2006 a failure.

After all, the purpose of the election was to get a new congress who would lower gas prices.

We GOT a new congress, but the prices just kept going up.

[roses of sharon]

She said that she is confident that McCain or Obama will sign global warming bill.

[tapatio]

Thanks!
You are a brave person to listen to her for that long.

[roses of sharon]

OMG, everyone should listen, if she outright lies thru her teeth.

Ok, here we go.......whatever the military success, surge did not accomplish goal........GOODWILL OF Iran!

OK, ITS ON TAPE, AT ABOUT 60:28?

[tapatio]

It is on there,I just heard it,61:00 on the clock.

[roses of sharon]

Yep, thanks, 61:00!

Get this to Hannity!

[roses of sharon]

It’s on tape, probably needs its own thread!

What a disgusting excuse for a human being. She is living proof that politics is one of the few places where one can be beyond stupid, completely incompetent in beliefs and actions as well as being totally and unapologetically unpatriotic and still, somehow, rise to the upper echelons of power and privilege. She sure didn't sleep her way to the top. *shudder*
