#1 Given the anti-war lefts unreasoned hatred of Bush and their foot stomping temper tantrums of late, I don't think there is anything you could say to get her off your back. Even as we hoist the flag of victory she won't care, because she is anti-war.

#4 What bigjim-ky said.

I have grave doubts that there is any achievement we could make in Iraq that would convince the Democrats and their MSM cronies to stop undermining the war effort; they've simply got far too much invested in their defeatist narrative at this point, to give it up at any price.

We have a simple choice: we can either win this war, or we can let these bastards continue to erode America's will to survive. One or the other. But not both.

#5 "I would listen and learn," she decided.

Why else would you go there Congressperson? To lecture?

#6 you have to have a mind first if it's ever going to change. She'll be spared that risk. Content with her reality, every fact and evidence disproving it is discarded as "spin"

#7 Edwards does have a point - There are two Americas - One reads Michael Yon and Ralph Peters, supports the troops and the mission and see the potential for a humiliating defeat for Al Qaeda from which they might never recover. The other reads the MSM and follows the Daily Kossacks, says they support the troops but don't support their mission and see the potential for a humiliating defeat for America from which we may never recover. Which America would you want to live in?

#8 Moonbat fantasy meets professional reality.
And we wonder why she walkes away confused? Silly folks she even said, "I come from an environment where people talk nine to 10 months," She openly admits she lives in a beltway reality, not any reality remotely based in fact or understanding. What I got from her visit is - she missed her air conditioning, was put out by wearing something other than a beltway bagsuit, and did not like the briefing because it showed a measured and realistic approach to a very complex event. I wish just one person from inside the beltway would actually sit and listen to what Gen Petraeus has to say. They might find out he has a solid understanding of what is happening and what it takes to fix that large complex country.

I feel better now.

#10 There are some people, especially in Washington, DC, and among the "elite" in the "news" media, that need to be taken BACK to Iraq and left there. Preferably in the southwestern desert, without water, in their birthday suits, with nothing but a spoon.

#12 Damn, #10 OP - What'd the Iraqis do to deserve that?

#13 Mooses, LOL you might have one of the best collection of pics..

He's a real sincere kind of person and you know as well as I do that Left-Tard Jan Schakowsky ain't got even one sincere bone in her entire body.

LOL! she's a whole lot worser than he is!
