House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who has brought Congress’s approval ratings to historic lows on her watch, is calling Iraq a failure.
In recent months, many Democrats have conceded the improving situation in Iraq, but Nancy Pelosi is still committed to emboldening the enemy.
UPDATE: Apparently, Nancy thinks that Al-Qaeda in Iraq in suffering “total collapse” is a failure.
Al-Qaeda in Iraq faces an “extraordinary crisis”. Last year’s mass defection of ordinary Sunnis from al-Qaeda to the US military “created panic, fear and the unwillingness to fight”. The terrorist group’s security structure suffered “total collapse”.
These are the words not of al-Qaeda’s enemies but of one of its own leaders in Anbar province — once the group’s stronghold. They were set down last summer in a 39-page letter seized during a US raid on an al-Qaeda base near Samarra in November.
The US military released extracts from that letter yesterday along with a second seized in another November raid that is almost as startling.
That second document is a bitter 16-page testament written last October by a local al-Qaeda leader near Balad, north of Baghdad. “I am Abu-Tariq, emir of the al-Layin and al-Mashahdah sector,” the author begins. He goes on to describe how his force of 600 shrank to fewer than 20.
Unless Pelosi is rooting for the terrorists to win, I can’t understand why she thinks Iraq is a failure.
