Pelosi Credits Iran’s “Goodwill” for Surge Success
Commentary Magazine ^ | May 29, 2008 | Abe Greenwald

Posted on 05/29/2008 11:42:30 AM PDT by Jbny

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.

Definately get it to Mark Levin though.

I’m trying to do it now, can you believe this woman?

Notice how the editorial board decides that this is not their headline?

Pelosi accurately represents her district.

Actually Speaker Nancy is trying to get to the left of her Dem Primary opponent, Cindy ('call me pink') Sheehan. This causes some difficulty in finding some issues where this can be done. Send flowers and sympathy cards to wahhhhwhine.org.

It’s an audio podcast, is that correct?

Can someone get it onto YouTube and Google Video with some appropriate photos to ridicule this POS?

That excerpt about Iran’s “goodwill” when they temporarily (b/c they were getting their butts kicked) stop killing Iraqis and Americans should be broadcast everywhere - she is such a worthless POS leftist.

Yup, killing Americans via Republican Guard Qods, funds and weapons is goodwill.

Insane is; insane does.

Fantastic idea, r r. Never happen, though. We can’t even muster enough sensible voters to make a race interesting in 95% of the cases. Incumbent, lifetime politicians will be what history credits with the downfall of a once-great nation. So sad.

I don’t either, but I know Doug from Upland does a lot of good ones!

One of these days I’ve got to try my hand at making some videos and photo-soundtrack vids for YouTube. The only thing I have to fear is...... fear itself!

This would be a perfect one to try it out with, Pelosi’s hideous voice in the background as a photo slideshow displays. I can imagine either really bad photos of Pelosi and leading Demagogues, or else create the contrast between the hideous, outrageous things she is saying and photos of our great troops and Iraqi allies and civilians trying to make life better and safer in Iraq even while Pelosi grovels toward the terroristic Mullahs and IRG for their “goodwill”...

And it was the goodwill of the residents of Hiroshima and Nagasaki that ended the WW2 war in the pacific in 1945.

If she thought she could get ahead by reciting Mother Goose, she’d do that too.

Too true! Right or wrong doesn't matter, it's personal interest above God and Country. Damn all professional politicians!

It was the “goodwill” expressed in Hitler’s suicide that helped to end the war in Europe........

It was “goodwill” from Charles Manson that ended the Manson serial murders.......

It was surely “goodwill” from the Unabomber that brought his murderous crime spree to an end......
