Nancy Pelosi Went To Iraq

Sadly for us, she came back. But if you're interested in a brief examination of evidence that Nancy Pelosi is wrong, a re-cap of news stories that she might have missed after the "Iranian-backed cease fire" went into effect follows my poetic tribute at the link.

Bottom line: A shame Pelosi doesn't read news from countries that aren't having Presidential elections this year.

Elsewhere -

Michael Goldfarb: Just two months ago, Pelosi said, "I hope we don't hear any glorification of what happened in Basra." It seems she was only talking about glorifying the role of the U.S. military and our Iraqi allies, who were in fact victorious. Apparently glorification of the enemy is still allowed.

Ace: Having blurted out, probably accidentally, that the surge was in fact successful, Granny Rictus McBotoxImplants now scrambles to credit the enemy nation murdering our troops with the victory our troops accomplished through blood, sweat, tears, and more blood.

Allah: This is why I said yesterday that McMaster’s remarks to AEI are a must-read. This sort of willful naivete about Iran’s motives — in this case coming from a woman who not only felt compelled to meet with Assad but whom one House Democratic aide admitted would be “furious” upon hearing Murtha’s report of progress in Iraq — is right at the heart of it.

James Taranto: Who needs Barack Obama if the Bush administration is generating so much Iranian goodwill?
