CNN: Nancy Pelosi is in Iraq now.

Went to see al-Maliki.

Rick Sanchez just mentioned this, but there's no link. Anyone have more info? I didn't see a thread.

Go Madame Speaker.

But I have no names.

take along for such a "dangerous" trip.....Murtha would be my first pick.

Hope it's true.

Going there doesn't necessarily mean much. However, she does have more power than others being our number 3 in power.

It is far more dangerous in Baghdad now than it was when Bush, Chaney, Rice, Rumsfeld or any of the others were there. There's been a lot of speculation that that recent rocket attack on the chopper full of high-ranking US military could have been the result of a leak. How are VIPs traveling from the airport to the Green Zone now? Do they avoid the Highway of Death to helicopter in? I hope she gets the hell out of there ASAP.

On edit: The military brass know that she is key to getting them and their troops out of there sooner than Bush would choose to do. It is in their self-interest to protect her, but the chaos there is so overwhelming that it is impossible for them to guarantee anyone's safe visit.

Hopefully, BushCo doesn't get any ideas - like an unfortunate IED incident near her convoy. With this group, you never know. :tinfoilhat:

I believe Wes Clark is with her. Heard he was one of the advisors. Also others!!!!

Should have more coverage in this next hour...keep posted...this is a good thing...Go Nancy

I am waiting to see the segment on CNN....hopefully soon...but no mention yet..

either one as the President would be good, they would be a good team. He with all his military experience and Her with her Big Brass O's, take no prisioners approach

she seems to be take the bull by the horns type person and that is what is needed now more than anything.

I love her

:loveya:

But they'd both cut and run at the first opportunity.

Let's see, is that a seven ounce bird or a 180 lb. man? Better shoot it just to be sure.

Birdshot Mountain: "I can't quit shooting you."

isn't that what's reaLLy important?

what is more important, is how many plastic turkeys she took with her.

:hi:

Inquiring minds want to know!
