AND BY HOUSE STANDARDS SHE'S NOT THAT UNINFORMED:
Bachmann on Iran: "There's already an agreement made. [Iran is] going to get half of Iraq and that is going to be a terrorist safe haven zone." (Eric Black, 2/23/07, Minneapolis Star-Tribune)
U.S. Rep. Michele Bachmann claims to know of a plan, already worked out with a line drawn on the map, for the partition of Iraq in which Iran will control half of the country and set it up as a "a terrorist safe haven zone" and a staging area for attacks around the Middle East and on the United States. [...]Posted by Orrin Judd at February 23, 2007 10:30 PM"Iran is the trouble maker, trying to tip over apple carts all over Baghdad right now because they want America to pull out. And do you know why? It's because they've already decided that they're going to partition Iraq.
And half of Iraq, the western, northern portion of Iraq, is going to be called.... the Iraq State of Islam, something like that. And I'm sorry, I don't have the official name, but it's meant to be the training ground for the terrorists. There's already an agreement made.
They are going to get half of Iraq and that is going to be a terrorist safe haven zone where they can go ahead and bring about more terrorist attacks in the Middle East region and then to come against the United States because we are their avowed enemy."
Totally irrelevant, one would hope, but she's the lady who couldn't keep her hands off Bush after his SOTU address.

She sounds like Mark Dayton of the House. Too bad the Minnesota GOP has imploded since 2001.

She's our Mary Landrieu: nice to look at, but keep her away from a microphone.

No place is safe from the forces of the Empire.

Did she not vote? Only Jim Marshall (GA) and Gene Taylor (MS) voted "no" for the Dems.
