“I give up,” Boxer exlaimed after failing to get an direct answer from Crocker on the extent of Iranian influence inside Iraq. “They kissed him [Ahmadinejad] on the cheek!”

Babs is just pissed that she hasn’t gotten to kiss Ahmadinnerjacket on the cheek, yet.

I can’t decide whether we have the two worst Senators in the US, or Massachusetts does.

No, no, you guys are both behind the curve. See, we only made gains because Clinton and Obama threatened to leave. So… now Iran’s position is weakening because Obama has threatened to talk to Iran. They’re worried about his charm.

p.s. I’m using Firefox for the first time. Holy crap, it’s spell checking my posts! Totally awesome!

Didn’t he play center for the Lakers in the ’80s?

No, he was a pilot with Trans American Airlines.

Remember this?

(The Politico) Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.) repeatedly attempted to prod Petraeus and Crocker to acknowledge that Iran’s influence inside Iraq has grown even as Americans continue to fight and die in Iraq.

Crocker tried to downplay the issue, calling Iran’s influence a “mixed bag,” but Boxer was having none of it. Crocker also noted that “thousands, hundreds of thousands of Iraqi Shias” were killed during the 1980-1988 war between Iran and Iraq.

The California Democrat, though, wqas have none of it. Boxer was particularly outraged by the fact that Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was the first official state visitor to Iraq, openly embraced by Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki, while President Bush, Vice President Dick Cheney and other American officials can only make surprise, unannounced visits under tight security.

I think PM Maliki knows a lot more about ME politics than Sen. Boxer..

BTW, I saw some video of the Afghan National Army gearing up, and those guys look like they Know Their Sh+t

( that’s an old expression from an old guy, but you all know what it means )

“Iran wants U.S. forces to leave Iraq and”

so do the Democrats. Sad that half of the USA, whether they know it or not are rooting for those that would like nothing more than to slit their throats if given half a chance.

*sigh*

Next week he’ll be saying… “When I said the war was lost, I meant by the BAD GUYS! Its all because of our pressure that Maliki finally stepped up and is winning the war!”

That works two ways; normal americans will interpret him as saying he meant the Mahdi Army, AQI, Bathists, etc. lost and the hardcore left will interpret it to mean America, the real bad guys, lost.

Seriously, this is far from over. The cut’n'runners will try somehow to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory, and the MSM is still the MSM.

And never forget the liberals, who know that all evil in the world is the fault of the USA.

Are you watching, Muslim tyrants monkeys?

Anything you would like to say, Senator Reid?

Harry Reid was asked for comment.

The war is lost.

Nah… you don’t get the Dem spin…

My first thought when reading this story. HA!

……unless you are a Democrat.

We won in Iraq.

The war is lost.

Maliki has the initiative now and will continue to impose the sovereignty of the central government across the country, leaving Sadr with no place to hide.

Like a cockroach when the light’s turned. Time to squash this fat bug.

leaving Sadr with no place to hide.

’cause he’s so fat.
