Well, look who’s reconciled to reconciliation. Today, Nancy Pelosi met with Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki in Mosul and–according to the AP, the Speaker of the House, “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.”
“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,” said Pelosi.
In February, she had said, “The purpose of the surge was to create a secure time for the government of Iraq to make the political change to bring reconciliation to Iraq. They have not done that.”
Some questions: Does this mean that the surge worked? And if so, does this mean Pelosi–gasp!–disagrees with Barack Obama, who has been against the surge from its inception? And when Nancy Pelosi returns home and speaks before the House about her experience in Iraq, will we finally see a change from the lockstep posturing that keeps the Democrats aligned with Obama on every last detail?
She’s flip-flopping like any good RAT.
Iraq’s Congress passed more legislation than Do Nothing Nancy’s.
Pray for W and Our Troops
What the heck is she doing in Mosul? Doesn’t she know she’s smack dab in the middle of an unstoppable quagmire of a civil war because Bush lied for oil? I only hope and pray that she can avoid sniper fire long enough to make it safely back home.
Bet it doesn't have any "alternative energy" BS...ethanol or green garbage,...
simple...drill...build pipelines...build refineries..
Yes, but what steps have the Iraqis taken to address the most important issue of our time....... have they acted decisively to PROTECT THE POLAR BEARS???
Until we see the Iraqi govt. making rapid progress on protecting the polar bears it is clear that the surge is a failure and we must cut-and-run immediately.
I didn’t know that this old gas bag is our new secretary of state.
I’m not sure Pelosi believes in the right for republicans to exist.
I think obama gives nancy imaginary surges.
Now is only we can keep Jimmah C from being the overseer of the elections.
