Lunatic Symmetry

It's become a recent staple of left-wingnut talking points that the liberation of Iraq and battle against the subsequent "insurgency" has fueled the Iranian mullahgarchy's anti-US enmity and accompanying drive for nuclear weapons (which they did not, after all, abandon five years ago, as the left-wingnut-prepared National Intelligence Estimate idiotically insisted last fall - I wish they could make up their lost minds).  If only we'd bug out, they argue, and surrender Iraq to the mullahs and their al Qaeda allies, the sun would come out, the birds would resume chirping, guitar-strumming clerics would join American flower childen in singing a rousing round of "Kumbayah," Tehran would instantly abandon not just their nukes but all their weapons of mass destruction, and we'd all live happily ever after.  Hell, maybe Adolph Ahmadinejad would to a Geico commercial.

Going to prove once again that audacity is still alive and well in the chancellories of the Democrat Party, and to illustrate the impossibility of parodying these people, it fell to Crazy Nancy Pelosi, the Speakerette of the House of Representatives, to literally turn that morony inside-out and come up with an inanity even more outrageous:

Well, the purpose of the surge was to provide a secure space, a time for the political change to occur to accomplish the reconciliation. That didn’t happen. 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.

Understand that this big, steaming pile was offered in the context of her own visit to Iraq two weeks ago and her pathological desperation to try and prop up the fiction that the "Surge" has failed, the war against Iran and al Qaeda in Iraq is hopeless, and the dramatic political progress that Dems have always insisted is THE benchmark of success is impossible.

The impetus for that frantic spin is to cite the "disaster" in Iraq as ipso facto "proof" that a military solution "can't" work in Iran, even though the need to "disarm" the mullahgarchy is even more imperative than it was with Saddam Hussein.  The reality of our victory in Iraq is thus a significant problem for the anti-war/anti-America/pro-jihadi crowd.  They simply cannot abide being judged wrong about "George Bush's war" in the court of public opinion.

Since, as Barack Hussein Obama would be finding out if he was capable of setting aside his commie-pinko dogma long enough to go take a look for himself with the open mind he claims to sport, not even the most Enemy Media-beloved Dem - or the Enemy Media itself, for that matter - can deny that the battle on the Iraqi front has been won, the rhetorical safe-haven of last resort is to give all the credit not to our men and women in uniform, not to the Iraqi Army and Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki's courageous statesmanship, but to the magnanimous, big-hearted, peace-loving "goodwill" of the regime that wants to wipe Israel off the face of the planet and bring the Great Satan to its knees.

I dunno.  Maybe I've been so immersed in the libs' despicable fecality fountain for so many years that my outrage threshold has risen to the orbit of Saturn or thereabouts.  I'd love to tear the Nora Desmond clone a new one, except that she's already such an old one that nobody'd know the difference.

Abe Greenwald took an at-bat, though.  Calling Crazy Nancy's bilge "inexcusable slander," he highlights her towering hypocrisy:

Furthermore, when Pelosi met with Prime Minister al-Maliki in Mosul she sang quite a different tune. She had “welcomed Iraq’s progress in passing a budget as well as oil legislation, and a bill paving the way for the provincial elections in the fall that are expected to more equitably redistribute power among local officials,” and stated, “We’re assured the elections will happen here, they will be transparent, they will be inclusive and they will take Iraq closer to the reconciliation we all want it to have.”

That's what she said to Maliki's face.  But back home on the commune, the tune changes to the old dogmatic anti-war mantra, and the Iraqi PM was, in her bizarro world, a Bushkin hack once more.

Pathological.  Utterly pathological.  And yet emblematic of the party that is going to be back in unchecked power in now under eight months.

Maybe that spectre inspired Ace to be even blunter than usual:

Oh. My. God.

Having blurted out, probably accidentally, that the surge was in fact successful, Granny Rictus McBotoxImplants now scrambles to credit the enemy nation murdering our troops with the victory our troops accomplished through blood, sweat, tears, and more blood.

It's not our troops. It's not Petraeus' leadership. It's not the Iraqis turning on the Al Qaeda murderers. No - it's Iran's goodwill.

Pardon my blasphemy but Jesus Christ All Mighty.

Will she also thank Al Qaeda for scaling back its beheadings and bombings?

Why not?  Can we rule out ANY dipshittery where these animals are concerned?  After all, it's just Dhimmicrats doing what Dhimmicrats do.  Perhaps the bile should be stockpiled for the yIntagh'pu who will commit national suicide by electing them.
