BAGHDAD (Reuters) - U.S. House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi, a key Democrat critic of President George Bush’s war policy in Iraq, landed in Baghdad on Saturday for talks with U.S. and Iraqi officials, the U.S. embassy said.
An embassy spokeswoman said Pelosi would meet U.S. ambassador Ryan Crocker and the commander of U.S. forces in Iraq, General David Petraeus. The California Democrat would also hold talks with senior members of Iraq’s leadership, although the spokeswoman declined to give details.
Pelosi led Democratic opposition to Bush’s decision in early 2007 to send 30,000 additional American soldiers to Iraq in a bid to halt Iraq’s spiral into all-out civil war.
With violence down, the extra combat brigades are being withdrawn. But there will still be 140,000 U.S. troops in Iraq when the last “surge” brigade leaves in July.
Now with her party sitting on and playing games with the funding bill for the troops on the ground I wonder just exactly why she is there.
She just got a briefing from them both in Congress not to long ago and nothing has really changed since then except the Basra showdown which Sadr got totally trashed on , Sadr City is being cleaned up and now Maliki is getting ready to do the same thing in Mosul he did in Basra.
Ms Clueless is just stringing out her gameplan here and I can’t wait to hear her spin on her visit.
