House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said twice Sunday that Iraq “is a failure,” adding that President Bush’s troop surge has “not produced the desired effect.”“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,” Pelosi said on CNN’s “Late Edition.” “They have not done that.”
I have pointed out in several postings that there are very real reasons why Democrats should not and cannot be trusted with power. She is the best reason, at this moment.
Facts for liberals are inconvenient truths. Take her statement and deconstruct it. First, cut out all the nonsensical words to make a concise statement:
Iraq and the troop surge have failed. The troop surge was supposed to bring about political reconciliation. It hasn't.
Well Nancy and you are a nancy - it has worked and the surge worked. Your party has stopped talking about Iraq - Hillary admitted it was working, reid admitted it was working and then concluded it wasn't. Sadly, most Democrats have admitted to the success of the surge ... and they didn't do it willingly.
Everyone in Iraq are talking Nancy, they are working together - just not the way you want them to. Just as it is not right nor reasonable to drop our Democracy on people who have never had democracy, so to - it is unreasonable to expect everyone in Iraq to sit at a table and drink Perrier and settle their issues. They are talking and they have discussed and they have settled many of their issues. They are, generally, united against al-qaida. That is the last and first group that wants no part of stability in Iraq. Similar to Democrats - you both want Iraq to fail. But it isn't - the tribesmen are working against Al-Qaida and al-qaida is all but vanquished. That is success. Our troops have made advances and the Iraqi government has taken over control of most of Iraq with the US reserved for assisting Iraqi forces and providing intelligence and operations independent of Iraqi forces when needed.
You are lying Nancy and wishing like mad that our troops lose. Your wishes cost lives and are not very responsible given your position in the US government.
