Democrat Rep. Kanjorski: The people ate it up!
Have you seen this tasty little quote from Pennsylvania Democrat Congressman Paul Kanjorski? Here is a video of Kanjorski admitting the Democrats lied about the situation and pulling out of Iraq during the 2006 mid-term elections. Here is the quote:
“I’ll tell you my impression. We really in this last election, when I say we…the democrats…that if we won the Congressional elections we could stop the war. Now anybody who’s a good student of government would know that wasn’t true. But you know…the temptation to want to win back the Congress…we sort of stretched the facts, and the people ate it up.”
Well, there you go. The democrats know who their constituents are and they depend on them to always “eat it up” or as I call it drink the kool-aide. Now they are drinking new Obama change flavor. I wonder what the after taste will be like on that one.

House Speaker Pelosi Praises Iran not US Military for Surge Success in Iraq
Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi continued her support for the troops the only way she knows how, by discrediting their successes in Iraq. In her latest interview with the San Francisco Chronicle Pelosi claimed the US troops surge was a failure and then credited any success to “the goodwill of Iranians,” claiming they were responsible for ending violence in the southern city of Basra.
“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,” Pelosi told the chronicle in an interview lasting over an hour discussing various different topics.
Is this woman insane! She will not mention anything if it will reflect well on the US military or US policy, but will quickly butter up the Iranians. The same Iranians that are funding insurgent activities in Iraq and Afghanistan!
Is it possible Pelosi doesn’t know the Iranian-brokered-cease-fire in Basra fell through and Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki ordered Iraqi Security Forces who with the help of US and coalition forces brought the Sadrists militias to their knees in a battle lasting a month driving insurgents out of Basra? How dare she downplay the sacrifice made from the blood sweat and tears of thousands of military service members and their families!
Of course this is common response from Nancy Pelosi. She has made comments similar to this in the past.
Considering the fact that democrats are still invested in our defeat in Iraq, and good news from Iraq is bad news for democrats Pelosi must feel this trip was productive for the cause. Discounting the success of the military, denying the accomplishments of the Iraqi Security Forces and giving credit to one of our most dangerous enemies puts her at the top for democrats on Capitol Hill.
Yesterday I mentioned Obama should make a trip to Iraq this summer, but after Pelosi’s treasonous affair there is really no reason for Obama to make this trip after all.

An Iraqi war veteran explains why it is important for Barack Obama to go to Iraq. He basically says Obama doesn’t have a clue about the situation there. I couldn’t agree more. Excellent read.
