Liberal Media Cover Up Speaker Pelosi's Slander of American Troops

The following is from an MRC press release calling out the liberal mainstream media for covering up House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's (D-Calif.) recent remarks chalking up the success of the U.S. military in Iraq to the "goodwill of the Iranians." [audio of Pelosi's remarks available here]

Alexandria, VA-- Last Thursday, a collection of reporters and members of the editorial board of the San Francisco Chronicle sat down for a nearly 80-minute interview with Speaker of the House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi, Democrat of California.

At the 62-minute mark, Pelosi slandered and demeaned the hard-won successes of our armed forces in Iraq, saying "Whatever the military success and progress that may have been made, the surge didn't accomplish its goal. And some of the success of the surge is that the goodwill of the Iranians -- they decided in Basra when the fighting would end, they negotiated that cessation of hostilities -- the Iranians."

No one at the Chronicle reported the Speaker's vicious slander. Nor did NBC, ABC or CBS, CNN or MSNBC deem it fit for broadcast, either Thursday evening or at any point on Friday. The vaunted New York Times likewise did not deem this fit to print.

What, it's true. The Iranians have been go betweens for the Shi'ite militias and, instead of supplying them with weapons like the US repeatedly states, they've been brokering disarmament and reconciliation. Why is that hard to admit, and why does that make her a buffoon?

Also, she said "SOME of the success".. not the entire fucking thing. US forces need to grow up and grow a pair.

For as low as Bush's approval numbers are, congress' is even lower. The last number I saw was between 7-11%.

Heres the latest polls from Real Clear Politics:

Gallup 18% approval

quinnipiac 16% approval
