Giffords - "...not a huge terrorist problem in Iraq"

Kudos to the Arizona 8th blog for exposing Gabrielle Giffords for her inability to grasp reality. 

Citing the Douglas Daily Dispatch we see our favorite "Blue Dog" Democrat expound upon her vast international relations expertise with quotes like:

While there are terrorists in Iraq, Giffords, D-Ariz., said Wednesday that they are less of a problem than places where threats are located or growing. "There is not a huge terrorist presence in Iraq," Giffords said during a telephone interview with Wick News Service.

She made her comments while waiting for the roll call vote in the House on the U.S. Troop Readiness, Veterans' Health and Iraq Accountability Act - the bill commonly referred to as the Iraq supplemental. She voted for the act, which also provides funds to support the U.S. military in Iraq and Afghanistan.She also emphasized that the supplemental calls for a goal to start leaving Iraq later this year, with a deployment of combat troops by early next year.

Excuse me?  Not a huge terrorist presence in Iraq? What is Gabby smoking? Allow us to politely disagree. Arizona 8th did a very nice job of compiling a list of incidents of terrorism in Iraq since January of this year.  Check out their site: http://arizonaeighth.blogspot.com/. It looks to us that Gabby may be lost in space on this one.
