Yup...heard it on audio myself...

The link has a 79 minute audio file of an interview with Pelosi...with about 61:07 left in the audio...

Pelosi believes the same people that provide ammunition & training to kill American soldiers are the people that HELPED the surge succeed...

Not the troops themselves...not the Iraqi Army at the forefront...not the fact that Al-Qaeda's infrastructure has greatly deteriorated...

It was the Iranians that helped the surge succeed...

Sounds like Pelosi understands the "reality on the ground" a lot better than most.

She says that they helped, not that they were the entire reason for success. "..some of the success of the surge..."

Seems like an attempt to make the Iranians flattered and make them want more attention.

Why can't these politicians give any credit to the hard charging US troops that are fighting tooth and nail? Her comments would discourage ANY of the troops that can hear her spew her propaganda.

So far the troops are recieving most the credit. It's not that she's saying that the troops did nothing, she is only mentioning another factor that helped.

The only thing Pelosi understands is how to put her make up on. She knows it takes a lot.
Iran fought Iraq for eight years to a stalemate. Sending unarmed children into the front lines as fodder against an army that the U.S. military defeated in a matter of days. Iran is fighting America by proxy. You can be sure they will not fight themselves. They know their best weapon is the stupidity of the left in America.
