Bachmann On Her Trip To Iraq: It’s Like Visiting The ‘Mall Of America’
Bachmann On Her Trip To Iraq: It’s Like Visiting The ‘Mall Of America’
Earlier this month, Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN) traveled to Iraq with a congressional delegation. In an interview with the Minnesota Star Tribune, Bachmann said that after her trip, she remains firm in her support for Bush’s escalation:
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.”
In reality, Iraq is nothing like the Mall of America. Bachmann was able to talk only about the palace because she wasn’t allowed to leave the heavily-fortified Green Zone — an area most normal Iraqis aren’t even allowed to enter. According to a report from her trip, skyrocketing violence prevented Bachmann from “meeting any Iraqis, leaving the Green Zone or staying in Iraq overnight. She and other congressional members were required to wear full body armor, including Kevlar helmets, during the entire trip.”
Nevertheless, Bachmann still believes that Congress should support Bush’s escalation. “It hasn’t had a chance to be in place long enough to offer a critique of how it’s working,” she said. Maybe if she had actually been able to leave the Green Zone, she would have been able to speak to some actual Iraqis, 78 percent of whom believe the U.S. presence is making the security situation worse.
UPDATE: AmericaBlog compares the Mall of America to Iraq.

Why Woohoo! Let’s all go shopping in Iraq! Should be tons of fun!
July 24th, 2007 at 5:40 pmThis is insane… first hand accounts don’t tell the story at all.
Being escorted by our troops to local bazaars so you can buy a rug, and then you get flown out with apache gunships does not make for an accurate account of life in that country.
July 24th, 2007 at 5:40 pmIf memory serves, Bachmann’s the same suck-ass who refused for nearly a minute to relinquish Shrub’s shoulder as he attempted to flee his last SOTU. Why should anyone expect this idiot to present a fact-based assessment of anything?

TP misrepresenting what someone said…….No.
July 24th, 2007 at 5:46 pmBy a strange coincidence, my son was just in the Mall of America. He said it was just like Baghdad! Everyone is wearing helmets and flak vests and armed to the teeth. And that was just because there was a sale on.
July 24th, 2007 at 5:48 pmWho gives the shit on what the palace looks like. She is just as diluted as the rest of the ditto heads. The commonality my ass.
July 24th, 2007 at 5:49 pm“meeting any Iraqis, leaving the Green Zone or staying in Iraq overnight. She and other congressional members were required to wear full body armor, including Kevlar helmets, during the entire trip.â€
Al-Qaida, she said, “doesn’t show any signs of letting up.â€
Wow! She sure did get a lot of insight during her overnight stay in the palace. Guess that must’ve been one heckuva powerpoint presentation.

Gee Zooey, that was almost funny!
July 24th, 2007 at 5:50 pmSo the workings of the Mall of America have finally been made public.
I mean, getting an Apache ride in from the parking lot was fun, and the bombs would make the roller coaster more exciting. But I found the cluster bombs in Camp Snoopy a bit much.
July 24th, 2007 at 5:51 pmShop til you drop. Or the Mahdi army opens fire. Or Sunni insurgents come a-bombing. Or Al Qaeda in Iraq RPG’s the food court. Funny, I’ve never had to deal with IED’s when I go to the bookstore.

Our taxpayers dollars being spent on Bush bobbleheads. Minnesota ( like CT with Lieberman ) you should hang you collective heads in shame for putting this airhead back in Congress.
1) She was not put “back” in Congress. It was her first trip and her last.
July 24th, 2007 at 5:51 pm2) Only one congressional district elected her. The rest didn’t have any say in the matter. The bible-thumping dickheads seem to have clustered in that district. She will not be re-elected, dickheads notwithstanding.
Should read Bachmann (R-MN). Michigan (MI) has plenty of disappointing Representatives. Minnesota can keep her.
July 24th, 2007 at 5:51 pmShould change the headline, really. Dipshit that she is, she still should not be misquoted.
July 24th, 2007 at 5:52 pmThis is why I don’t like Dems either. Sooner or later, they step on their own tongues.
She was talking about Husseins palace, not Bagdad or Iraq, and she was describing it’s scope, not weather or not there are terrorists lurking around or how safe it is or if there’s a Snoopy statue there.
Come on people. The Republicans are stupid for a sh*t-load of reasons. We don’t have to invent ones. This is not helping.
July 24th, 2007 at 5:52 pm…of course both trips were the same to ms bachmann - she spent both of them blowing powerful old gop donors in the back of a beemer, which is also how she’ll be spending congress’s summer recess.
July 24th, 2007 at 5:52 pmIt this another one of Bush’s talking polyps?
July 24th, 2007 at 5:55 pmWhy do you keep undermining the war propaganda effort?
July 24th, 2007 at 5:57 pm#20 is right that she was commenting on the palace - not the country.
That said — Bachmann is an embarrassment to my state and my country. Hopefully the idiots in her district will give her the boot after her 2-year term in the house.
She IS the nut who grabbed Bush during the SOTUA and wouldn’t let go. She’s 100% certifiable. There are pictures of her hiding in the bushes at a gay pride event, spying on everyone. Cookoo!!!
July 24th, 2007 at 5:57 pmSuch a cutie-pie, too.
July 24th, 2007 at 5:57 pmThis woman is crazy. Katherine Harris kind of crazy. Even the republicans want her out; she has been such an embarrassment.

July 24th, 2007 at 5:58 pmWhat was the palace like?
Bachmann opined:
“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.â€
This is tourist talk! Outside the Green Zone people are dying like flies in freezing weather. And all she can talk about is her impression of the palace.
We hired her to take care of this countries business, the people’s business, not gawk at the Green Zone like a tourist in a tourist trap! Come 2008 she will be finding a new job.
And then, to add insult to injury, she spouts neocon talking points that she was taught before she went to Iraq. (backed up and verified, of course, by that stalwart general petraeus.) So of what value was her trip? Oh, yeah, she probably got a $1.oo rug by shopping in the Green Zone
July 24th, 2007 at 5:58 pmGreat job, TP!
That’s how you put some spin on a headline!!!
July 24th, 2007 at 5:58 pmOutside the Green Zone people are dying like flies in freezing weather. And all she can talk about is her impression of the palace.
How do you know? Have you been there? Or are you just referring to the reports by leftwing media?
July 24th, 2007 at 5:59 pmSorry, I am going to have to call BS on this one TP. She was referring to the palace, which has been converted into an embassy.
She was not talking about Iraq.
There is no doubt in my mind that Saddam’s Palace is ten times nicer than the mall of America.
As far as her discription of Iraq, she said that al Qaida wasn’t giving up. That is 100% true. They won’t ever give up, even if we bomb the planet.
July 24th, 2007 at 6:00 pmThis is the funny kind of retardation
July 24th, 2007 at 6:02 pm#30: Go away Mr. President. I just don’t get it why TP won’t ban you.

That’s what you get when you elect a fundamentalist conservative christian to public office. I hope people are starting to get that.

July 24th, 2007 at 6:06 pmDearest Trolls,
July 24th, 2007 at 6:06 pmIt’s not a miss-quote if TP prints the entire passage of what was said… which they did. The Headline is obviously a commentary on how only a self-involved, delusional sheep such as this nit-wit of a congresswoman could even SAY such a thing to begin with. Palace or no, you’re in a country that is war torn people REAL people dieing all around you. This woman turns to her fellow representatives and says THIS!? REALLY!? That was your profound awakening lady? The palace is like the mall of America…. Great glad it wasn’t a trip wasted.
As much as Ms. Bachmann seems to be into flights of her own fancy it is important to note that she is not from Michigan (MI) but from Minnesota (MN).
July 24th, 2007 at 6:06 pmTP missed the point…it isn’t about malls…..The focus should be on what Bachmann said when she said:
” Al-Qaida doesn’t show any signs of letting up.â€
If Al-Qaida is in Iraq at all now….it is all thanks to our invasion that deposed Hussein, who did not allow Al-Qaida in Iraq. But from what I read…the problem is now civil war between Sunni’s and Shite…probably provoked and abetted by our presence as we give money & guns to both sides. sigh.
July 24th, 2007 at 6:06 pmNow that was funny.
July 24th, 2007 at 6:07 pmSix years after 9/11 and Al Qaeda has gone from being in Afghanistan to being in Afghanistan, Pakistan and Iraq.
Congratulations George W. that is quite a return of the initial investment.

July 24th, 2007 at 6:12 pmI love how librals twist facts to get headlines! Saying that Sadam Hussein’s palace was like the “mall of America” is nothing surprising. So what, you say, that he used all the money and aid he was given to splurge on marble instead of feeding his people? oh, right….because then you would have to sound (pardon me) CONSERVATIVE.

July 24th, 2007 at 6:15 pmActually Amanda, your presentation of this story is very badly constructed. Ringo and Kevin are correct in noting your obvious misrepresentation and I urge you not to pull this kind of crap–it is unnecessary.
Amanda writes: What was the palace like?
Bachmann: “I turned to my colleagues and said there’s a commonality with the Mall of America”
Amanda writes: In reality, Iraq is nothing like the Mall of America
Your larger point, Amanda, that Bachmann, like the majority of Bush boosters who visit Iraq and thus profess some relevant experience of it when they never actually gets beyond the Green zone “bubble” ( or have to be escorted by a 100 troops, attack helicopter and dressed in full body armor engage in an elaborate photo-op), and thus their cheery observations are therefore more “true” and “realistic” is a point you could have made without this “sleight of hand” editing.
It doesn’t negate your point, but it by misrepresenting the context, you undermine your point that she (and her ilk) should be taken to task when they misrepresent reality–and in doing so this does nothing for your own credibility. nor by association the credibility of Think Progress–a site which I happen to rate very highly.

July 24th, 2007 at 6:20 pmWe are to believe this without question. Now I wonder what the people of Iraq think of this great Mall with lights and running water. As the rest of Iraq has little light or water but in the safe Green Zone for Americans and Iraq friends of Americans they get it all. No mention of how this safe Green Zone where a bank got robbed of $280 Million American dollars without anyone knowing what happen. I guess Rep Bachmann wasn’t interested in that stolen American money just that the Saddam Palace was like a mall and she could go fishing. Now our troops that are dying everyday mean nothing just that safe mall.

July 24th, 2007 at 6:23 pmGodSmoteTheSodomites-
The primary crimes of the Sodomites were repeated economic crimes, both against each other and outsiders. One of the worst was to give money or even gold ingots to beggars, but to inscribe their names on them, and then subsequently refuse to sell them food. However, the unfortunate stranger would not be allowed out of the city, and would end up starving. After his death, the people who gave him the money would reclaim it.
This sounds rather like neo-con behavior.

July 24th, 2007 at 6:35 pmHere is another Bachmann classic:
U.S. Rep. Michele Bachmann claimed two weeks ago to know of an Iranian plan for the partition of Iraq in which Iran would control half the country and set it up as “a terrorist safe haven zone” and a staging area for attacks around the Middle East and on the United States.
This woman is a wackadoodle. She’s facing a really tough reelection campaign. Anyone want to take bets on her chances of being re-elected?

By the by, TPers, has anyone come up with any new ideas on how to waste our tax $$$?
I would like a list on my desk in the morning.
July 24th, 2007 at 6:42 pmDid I ever say they were!?!?! Liberals “hate†stereo-typing, yet it is liberal ideas and nastiness that lumps all conservatives into one evil-crazy-rich-christian-heartless group…right

July 24th, 2007 at 6:45 pm94: How many billions in tax dollars have the republics wasted in Iraq?
July 24th, 2007 at 6:47 pmFiscal conservatives - bullsh@t - you’re crowd spends our tax dollars, like a drunken republic senator spends on prostitutes.
Godsmotesodomites: “Whatever. That’s not what the Old Testament says.”
Are you a “Christian?” Because, if you are, the New Testament is supposed to be your primary book. Maybe you fell asleep when they explained this in Sunday School, but the New Testament is largely a repudiation of the Old Testament.

July 24th, 2007 at 6:50 pmI can assure you that I am anything BUT heartless. I am a high school student who spends two hours a week visiting and helping seniors at a senoir home, run the blood drive for my school, raise money for the american cancer society, am part of a “buddy” program where I help and play soccer with mentally/physically handicapped children, bake turkey dinners for hungry and homeless on thanksgiving….etc.
So I would hope that those facts might cross out evil and heartless on your list…I assume that no matter what I do you will think that conservatives are insane….but we are GOOD people….I may not agree with you and vise versa, but I do not believe that you are a terrible person. Why are you not tolerant of my views? Why must you resort to name-calling?

July 24th, 2007 at 6:53 pmNo worries folks Rep. Bachmann is just trying hard to win the affection of the President. Yes we know George hearts Connie but Michele is doing her best to replace Connie. This is just one way she is trying to get her man’s attention. Some women will do anything to get the man they want. We might be seeing another Fatal Attraction this is getting scary. I hope the voters know that Rep. Bachmann is not working for them but she’s on a mission of her own to get her man George W. Look for a famous cat fight between Michele and Connie over the idiot, drunk, druggie and coward baby George W.

The Senior Senator from Alaska Ted Stevens (R) seems to have lots of ideas on how to waste tax money, may be check with him, then check with the Iraq rebuilding group, seems these lost a few million somewhere along the line.
July 24th, 2007 at 6:54 pmRep. Michele the Dummy thinks one of Saddam’s palaces in the Green Zone is like a giant mall? I doubt she noticed that no stores are in the palace, so I guess when she goes to malls she notices the architecture only. Plus I bet she has NO idea that Baghdad outside the Green Zone is a gigantic slum of violence and death. Every US politician that goes to Iraq should be dropped by parachute into Baghdad and let them try to survive.

The words liberal and conservative, thanks to pundits are so illy defined it could mean anything from Welfare recipient to a Hollywood actor.

I see that you’re only 15, and I’m not going to say you know nothing about the world because of your age, but you must understand that your experience is limited.
For instance, you identify yourself as “Ms Neo-Con,” but then say that you don’t particularly like Bush because he is not acting like a true conservative. You are right in that assessment — neo-cons are NOT true conservatives.
You might notice your inconsistency in calling yourself “Ms Neo-Con.” This is why we have trouble taking you seriously.

Thank you, I was surprised at how many people here immediately disregarded me once I said that i was 15. Teenagers are constantly told to be “aware” of the world around them and take up and interest in politics. I have been doing this for quite a while now, I watch the news everyday (don’t wory, not just FOX), and while I am not intimidated I believe that it would be discouraging to young people to find that they should only be “aware” if they share the liberal view.

July 24th, 2007 at 7:35 pmA neo-conservative (abbreviated as neo-con or neocon) is part of a U.S. based political movement rooted in liberal Cold War anticommunism and a backlash to the social liberation movements of the 1960s and 1970s. These liberals drifted toward conservatism: thus they are new (neo) conservatives. They favor an aggressive unilateral U.S. foreign policy. They generally believe that elites protect democracy from mob rule.
There we go. We told you it had nothing to do with liberal or conservative and you decided to ignore that and repeat the bullsh!t. You will make a great NeoCon and troll.

July 24th, 2007 at 7:37 pmA disaster that occured in 1972 when this plague took over the once great Democrat Party. An ideology that believes that America is the cause of all problems in the world. That liberty is a curse and human beings are destoying the planet earth.
I was 12 years old then. The great Democrat party was taken over, as most politics has been, by corporate America, people interested in nothing but the bottom dollar. I don’t believe that America is the cause of all the problems in the world. I doubt anyone here would agree with that. I do think that we shouldnt act as policemen of the world. Democracy suffers when it comes from the end of a barrell. We, under the Republican guidance, have become less like in the world. Democracy is not suffering because of lefties, it’s suffering because were seen as materialistic bullies. Sure we have a big stick to weild, but we should walk softly.
July 24th, 2007 at 7:37 pmThe problem is, I think, that the government is becoming corporatized and no longer functions for the good of the people. Politicians sell themselves to the highest bidders (lobbyists) and special interest groups and see office as a means to riches.
