| Pelosi to meet with al-Maliki in quick visit to Iraq |
| 2007-01-26 |
| House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has traveled to Iraq for a quick fact-finding visit that will include a meeting with Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki. The congressional delegation traveling with the Democratic speaker from San Francisco includes Rep. Tom Lantos, D-San Mateo, chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, Rep. Ike Skelton, D-Mo., chairman of the House Armed Services Committee, and Rep. John Murtha, D-Pa., who more than a year ago urged President Bush to withdraw American forces from Iraq and is chairman of the appropriations subcommittee that oversees the military budget. The delegation is scheduled to return to Washington on Monday. |

| #10 Um, will Nancy be wearing a burkha when she meets al Maliki and, if not, won't that a) offend his delicate Islamic sensibilities meeting with an unclothed piece of meat (heaven forbid if she wears a skirt and actually shows a little leg or ankle let alone her face; why the poor man won't be able to contain himself and will have to "take her" right there on the spot), and b) won't she be offended at having inadvertently offended an Islamic diplomat/politician and have to somehow blame it on George Bush and his "illegal war" and call for an immediate pull out (no, not of al Maliki) and redeployment of the troops? |

| #6 Two-day useless junket. Just getting their tickets punched to avoid criticism that they've never even seen the place or met the leaders. Like the Iraqi Prime Minister doesn't have anything better to do. Sheesh! |
