The arrival of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who came to Baghdad on Saturday with a congressional delegation, set off a now-familiar cycle of reaction in the Iraqi capital. First there was buzz around the city about flight delays from Baghdad International Airport, which goes into lockdown when VIPs land or takeoff. Since no dust storms were grounding flights, anyone traveling could have assumed some American bigwig was heading in. But when local TV reported the visitor was House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, there was a collective shrug of the kind you might expect from Republicans catching a glimpse of her somewhere in McCain country.
Pelosi is something of a nonentity to average Iraqis. If they know who she is at all, she is generally seen as an antiwar caricature figure, someone whose views on U.S. troop withdrawals are widely considered unrealistic. Pelosi has said she wants to see most U.S. troops withdrawn from Iraq by the end of the 2008, a time frame virtually no Iraqi political leader sees as feasible. Not even Mahdi Army militia leader Moqtada al-Sadr, the fiercest advocate of a U.S. withdrawal on the scene, has called for such a rapid withdrawal of U.S. forces. Rather, Sadr contends that the Americans should simply announce a reasonable timetable for the departure of U.S. forces.
The lack of popularity of Pelosi's views was evident in the fact that her first day on the ground Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki did not make an effort to see her. Maliki is currently in the northern city of Mosul overseeing a crackdown on insurgent networks there. But the city has been largely quiet in recent days, and there was no obvious pressing reason for the prime minister to skip Pelosi's arrival.

“The lack of popularity of Pelosi’s views was evident in the fact that her first day on the ground Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki did not make an effort to see her.”
Heh heh...I’m liking malarkey more and more...
Hope you like the headbag, Nancy - all your “sisters” in San Francisco will have to wear them if you get your way.
Maybe there’s a soldier around who can give her a “Hillary Handshake” (coerced).
Malarley is making a big mistake. He should have been there to greet her. Then he should have a conference where he talks about how important it is that Iraq initiate serious environmental regulations, high income taxes and guaranteed healthcare and housing for all Iragi’s. The sucker would buy it.
But for all of Pelosi's unpopularity, in many ways she got a nicer arrival treatment than the last senior female American official to appear in Baghdad, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice. Rice slipped into Iraq in January much the same way Pelosi did today — stealthily, with a terse confirmation by the U.S. embassy offering few details of the agenda. But within hours of Rice's arrival, TV news was crackling with word of it, and soon thereafter a volley of mortars fell on the Green Zone in an obvious message from Rice's detractors. No rockets or mortars were heard heading into the Green Zone today as word of Pelosi's presence hit the Iraqi airwaves in what amounted to a daytime news blip.Well, of course the insurgents aren't going to bomb Pelosi. She's their allie.
At first, I thought Prime Minister Maliki was ineffective at best but now I’m starting to like him more and more.
She’s going to the Iranian embassy for tea and crumpets.
I wouldn’t want to be anywhere within a quarter mile of her while she’s in Iraq...if she encounters an IED, the guywires holding her horrid facelift in place will give way causing an after-explosion rivaling Hiroshima.
I’m more than a little surprised to be reading such a negative account as this in Time. I thought they were going to name her Woman of the Year, now that hillary is threatening to stall out.
I just googled it, and I see that Glamour named her Woman of the Year in 2007. Maybe that’s as far as she will go. Poor Nancy! No Nobel Prize, either.
So another Rat (with elevated visions of self importance) and her entourage of marxists visits our troops to reinforce their certainty that our nation fights an immoral war . . .
Let's hope so...
Nancy who?
Traitor Pelosi comes to town. Don’t expect an honest report from this turncoat and her bottom dwellers
Since the majority of the American sheep are liberals, she may as well change her official title to "Speaker-for-Life".
Another big waste of my tax paying money.
And don’t forget — she should tell them how important it is that they drive puny hybrids instead of SUV’s. Seems like the streets are full of them there.
Traitorous swine
Secretary of State Pelosi? Wow - Condi is out and Pelosi gets the job. The MSM missed a big story this time /SARC
