This has to be one of the more disgusting political machinations you will see. But, I should say, not at all unusual anymore and by no means a surprise. After accidentally admitting that the troop surge in Iraq is working, the dragon lady Nany Pelosi scrambled to come up with a reason for success that was related to America, its people, or its soldiers in combat. Here's what she came up with:
Asked if she saw any evidence of the surge’s positive impact on her May 17 trip to Iraq she responded:The mental illness that has overtaken the left is nothing short of that which swept the nazis to power in Germany. There is no difference. Shame on them. And shame on you for just standing by and watching.
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.
