<p>[Chronicle</a> Podcasts : House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on the presidential race, her legislative agenda and Iraq](<a href=“http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/blogs/sfgate/detail?blogid=5&entry_id=26858"]Chronicle”>http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/blogs/sfgate/detail?blogid=5&entry_id=26858")</p>

<p>Thanks Iran for making last month the least deadliest since the war in Iraq started.</p>

<p>

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.

<p>“Nancy Pelosi and her gang have done absolutely nothing since their party took control of congress.”</p>

<p>Well, you know, Tega, the good Speaker did ask if the American people would trust her party with governing if they couldn’t even handle a nomination. I must say that she asks a good question.</p>
