This month, Bachmann traveled to Iraq, and despite more GOP defections from
Bush's base of support, she returned as firm as ever in her conviction that the
war is justified. Al-Qaida, she said, "doesn't show any signs of letting up."
The congressional delegation met with Gen. David Petraeus, the top commander in
Iraq, in one of Saddam Hussein's palaces.
What was the palace like?
"It's absolutely huge," she said. "I turned to my colleagues and said
there's a commonality with the Mall of America, in that it's on that proportion.
There's marble everywhere. The other thing I remarked about was there is water
everywhere. He had man-made lakes all around his personal palace -- one for
fishing, one for boating."
She said she was heartened after visiting soldiers hospitalized in Germany.
"The first thing a soldier says when they come out of anesthesia is, 'Let my
sergeant know I'm ready to go back. When can I go back?' They're determined not
to leave, determined to go back and finish the mission."
Shite and onions!
