Yes, the perpetually surprised looking Speaker of the House loves our troops and the USAÂ so much that she cannot even give credit to either (via Hot Air through Ace. I thought about posting it on Thursday, but, Surrendie demanded that this story was his, damnitall!)
(Commentary) 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.
See, it was not the skills of our military or its leaders, it was those Iranians! How soon till she ends up wearing a burka while visiting Ahmadenijad?
Ace: Will she also thank Al Qaeda for scaling back its beheadings and bombings?
Abe Greenwald at Commentary: 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.
Right Voices has a hilarious graphic
I wonder if Joe Biden will be outraged when us damned neo-cons call Democrats weak on national security and question their patriotism?
How ’bout a double monkey, via Wake Up America?
Pelosi would have also said in the PAST: “I’d like to thank Adolf Hitler and his Nazi war machine for NOT invading New York after his Blitzkrieg in Poland…I’d like to thank Emperor Hirohito for NOT attacking San Fransicko after bombing Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941… I’d like to thank Soviet Butcher Stalin for keeping his Gulags in Siberia and for not moving them to … Mexico?” Who is this F’N freak? Oh yeah … Our Madam/Madman Speaker of the House!
