Audacity of Truth
Whiner-in-Chief:
"[W]hether the grumbling is about Republicans on Fox or bloggers in pajamas, there's a word for what the president and his aides are doing. That word is "whining." And nothing [...] does more damage to Obama's credibility or authority than the sense that a popular president is becoming the whiner-in-chief."
- John Nichols, Nation Magazine - 10/12/09
Nancy Pelosi thanks, in part, “the goodwill of the Iranians” for the surge’s success
… and demonstrates once again why Democrats can’t be trusted to lead in the Global War on Terror:
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.
Transcript via Commentary Magazine’s Abe Greenwald, who blasts Pelosi soundly:
This is an inexcusable slander. Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki brought the Sadrists militias to their knees in a month-long battle that enabled Iraq’s largest Sunni bloc to rejoin the government. Furthermore, when Pelosi met with Prime Minister al-Maliki in Mosul she sang quite a different tune. She had “welcomed Iraq’s progress in passing a budget as well as oil legislation, and a bill paving the way for the provincial elections in the fall that are expected to more equitably redistribute power among local officials” and stated, “We’re assured the elections will happen here, they will be transparent, they will be inclusive and they will take Iraq closer to the reconciliation we all want it to have.”
Discounting the success of the American military, denying the accomplishments of U.S. allies, and giving the credit to our most dangerous enemies seems like an especially productive week for a Democrat on Capitol Hill. After Nancy Pelosi’s post-Iraq hat trick, there’s really no need for Barack Obama to make this trip after all.
Lawhawk blasts off as well:
Iran continues to try and subvert the Iraqi government and has its thugs and terrorists trying to kill Iraqis and Americans on a daily basis to this day. There are frequent reports of Iranians killed or captured trying to attack Iraqis or Americans. Iranian weaponry and equipment is responsible for killing Americans.
Yet Pelosi has the audacity to give credit to the Iranians for all the hard work done by the Iraqis and the US-led coalition in Iraq? Unbelievable. Just when you think that Pelosi’s grasp on facts can’t be any worse, she goes out and surprises.
The final word, from 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.
Bbbbut they support the troops.

Anyway we can impeach her as a traitor?
I gotta job that the fembot shetool can do but it will require more than one bag and copious amounts of liquor for me. Heh…….an organic/synthetic hybrid that’s self inflating, whoda thunk?
*Rediscovering the bottom of the barrel* is apparently a game she is good at! Number three position to rule the greatest nation in the world if the CIC and the VP are not capable of doing their jobs, now THAT is scary!
Has anyone bothered to inform her, in which country her paychecks are written?
- Forest, many people have slowly become convinced that the Left, who understand that their anti-American stance in every way possible for the past 7 years has made our loss in Iraq the lynch pin of their own political fortunes, are pathologically incapable of saying anything positive about Americas/Bushes successes in Iraq.
- Pelosi is simply manifesting this neurosis in real time for the American electorate. As each passing day brings an additional measure of improvement, things are going to get even uglier for the “denial” based collective.
- If Iraq continues to improve, and in spite of the Lefts best efforts to stop/stall/obstruct our success in the WOT, there is every reason to be optimistic as this point, by the time of the fall election cycle we may see Secular Progressive heads start to randomly explode. Picture the entire gaggle of Leftist moonbats, Marxists, Communists, Socialists, Anarchists, Atheists, all squeezed down into that tiny anti-American corner they painted themselves into, in a sort of miniature singularity that no factual information can ever escape from. Call it an “Intellectual naked Black hole”. As friendly and easy going as is the want of the average Koolaide drinker, that will be the mother of all mad-houses.

- BTW – Karl Rove is on FOX right now debunking, for the upteenth time, each and everyone of McClellans rumors. I say rumors because he was not in any position of knowing a single fact about that which he has written, and he cites not a single piece of evidence to support his claims. Moreover, he himself lied once again on his appearance on morning talk shows today, once again leaving the impression that a) Scooter Libby was convicted of any of the original charges against him (he was in fact charged with perjury on the weirdest of legal tap dancing and entrapments), and b) implying wrongly as has been proven without doubt by the guilty parties own words, Armitage, that Rove was the source of Plames name leaked to Novak.
- In the mean time, the Wilsons have showed themselves to be partisan lairs with agendas of their own, when they had to take the fifth on the stand in a civil suit they themselves brought. Apparently they are so smart they forgot they themselves would be required to depose and testify under oath in any court proceedings.
- What will be interesting in the future, is whether any of the people slandered by this partisan rumor campaign, perpetrated by the body politic Left for partisan gain, ever bring any of their tormentors to trial for defamation/liable. I know I damn well would if I were Rove or Libby, or even Bush. The Wilsons, and a number of other “players” on the Left would not be happy campers when I got done with them.
- Dirty politics is one thing, but this whole BS affair is over the top, and should not go unpunished.

BBH: The nut doesn’t roll far from the tree. I realize it’s wiki but there are other places to see the straining of patchwork gnat conspiracies are a family tradition. How long before Scott and Sheehag joint file?
Pelosi. Americans actually voted for her.
Marshall Art: Are we sure about that AMERICAN part? Denizens perhaps……dead citizens of course!
I think perhaps you have this Pelosi “thing” backwards.
We should all be thanking the Speaker for her honest appraisal that progress in Iraq would have been further along had it not been for the interference of the Iranians in the internal affairs of Iraq.
She could have claimed it was the corruption or the inability of the Iraqis to get their house in order, but rather she pinpoints the long term problem .. the Iranians .. who are the major troublemakers in, not just in Iraq, but the entire region.
My hat is off the the Speaker for her wisdom.
1st time in human history that a Dem would want “transparent” elections.
These people should be tried for sedition. – Lorica
…sounds to me like (once again) Mme Pelosi has gotten her talking points from that brilliant foreign policy expert, Jimmy Carter.
