In an interview yesterday with the San Francisco Chronicle, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi claimed the U.S. troop surge failed to accomplish its goal. She then partially credited the success of the troop surge to “the goodwill of the Iranians,” claiming that they were responsible for ending violence in the southern city of Basra.
Asked if she saw any evidence of the surge’s positive impact on her May 17 trip to Iraq she responded:
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.
This is an inexcusable slander.

Unbelievable - simply shocking.
just damn
Geez!!
Nancy never misses a chance to kiss the enemies’ a**.
I think she should journey to Iran and personally thank them.
Hasn't the jerk heard that Iran is supplying insurgents with weapons to kill Americans?
This is like crediting the NAZI’s for the success of the Allied Forces.
I think she should journey to Iran and stay there.
Even if you tied her tongue to her teeth, she’d find a way to say something stupid!
must really suck to be on the wrong side of history always
Good bye America....We hardly knew ye
It’s the same denial of success with the leftist Pelosi. Just candy tossed to the moonbats while she pushes ahead the authorization bills for the military in Iraq and Afghanistan.
But of course that’s not enough. A despicable comment praising the mullahs who are doing everything they can to kill Americans in Iraq is beyond the pale.
Think the media would call her on it?
That means they're on the same side as the Democrats.
“must really suck to be on the wrong side of history always”
For her it just sucks, ‘cuz she’s ALWAYS wrong.
And we are about to hand over the Presidency to a left winger that is on equal footing with Pelosi. I am almost ready to give up and tell the Sheeple they get what they deserve in the next four years, except for the fact I don't want to see our military shread to pieces like it was thanks to Carter and the aftermath of Vietnam.
Nancy - Approved and elected by some of the people of California, and the rest of the country must tolerate her stupidity.
She really is a traitor on the highest order.
There are a number of folks on FR who think Pelosi is a great American They are voting third party to insure Obama is elected to carry on her type of left wing anti American, anti war crap
Third in line to the Presidency. Just damn.
Nothing shocking here, it’s what I’ve come to expect from treasonous the pieces of sh!t of her ilk. The real scandal is that the stupid, gutless, chickensh!t Republicans won’t beat the DhimmiKKKrats to death with it.
“Are we going to have to hang them all!’
I am ok with that. What disgusts me is the procrastination.
That bitch and her party, are truly traitors to our country.
>>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.”<<
So, she lies to al-Maliki, she lies to the San Francisco Chronicle, she lies to all of us. She has no idea what the truth is. Perfect example of The Peter Principle.
What a dumb (rhymes with bunt).
There is a special place for Beast like This!
Good bye America....We hardly knew ye
Sadly, this is not hyperbole...
re: “goodwill of the Iranians”
This is leftist hate propaganda of the utmost depravity. What a grave insult to our brave troops and the Iraqis standing up against the jihad terrorists. Pelosi is a prime example of what David Horowitz calls the “Unholy Alliance” between Islamo-fascists and the secular left in the west. Iranian-supported terrorists get their butts handed to them in Basrah and many other places.... in total desperation the Iranian IRG helps to negotiate a truce to save some of the Islamo-terrorists...... and Nancy Pelosi wants to warmly CREDIT the Iranian Mullahs for “goodwill”????
This POS does not belong in govt. she belongs in line at the gallows where we should be hanging traitors.
This simply proves that in this great country America, you can grow up and be rich and stupid and powerful.
Please, I hope this is on tape!
Not knowing SanFranNan’s background, I would guess, heck, lay odds on a big ol’ bet,
that she didn’t personally earn her wealth.
I can’t wait until this woman is voted out of office. What a piece of work.
Someone PLEASE supply a link to this OTHER than commentaryMagazine.com Which doesn’t seem to be able to remain functioning for any extended period of time.
I used to joke about it. Now, it's becoming an all too real future. How did it happen?
Wait ‘til Chris Matthews plays this quote on Hardball tonight! Or CNN reports it in depth! BWAHAHAHAHAHA!! I have to laugh to keep from crying...
I think that someone should ask Obama, Clinton and McCain what they think of this statement of Pelosi’s and if they are in agreement. Their answers wold be very interesting .
Good bye America....We hardly knew ye.
Sadly, this is not hyperbole...
I am not going down without a fight, by God. ...and I pray there are many others of like mind.
wold = would
There are many out here.
What sucks is having "leaders" dragging us to the wrong side of history.
What was that that Churchill said about thinking they’ll kill you last?
Too bad the public will never hear it.
How are we supposed to win debates without any media but some daytime radio?
“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”
I’d like to see Gen Petraeus respond to this statement.
