Pelosi calls Iraq a 'failure'
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said twice Sunday that Iraq "is a failure," adding that President Bush's troop surge has "not produced the desired effect."
"The purpose of the surge was to create a secure time for the government of Iraq to make the political change to bring reconciliation to Iraq," Pelosi said on CNN's "Late Edition." "They have not done that."

  CNN March 2008: Pelosi Won't Divest Drug Stock, Dismisses Conflict Claim
  Pelosi introduced the Early Treatment of HIV Act last summer.
  Pelosi's husband owns between $250,000 and $500,000 stock in Johnson & Johnson, the company that markets the anemia drug Procrit used by HIV patients and others with anemia. Procrit is manufactured by Amgen, a pharmaceutical firm based in Thousand Oaks, Calif.
  CNSNews.com:
  In addition to the 28 separate contributions Pelosi received last July from Amgen employees, seven other contributions were made by executives in the months of July and August, for a total of $30,050 to Pelosi's re-election campaign.
  Also, Amgen's political action committee gave Pelosi's campaign a total of $10,000 last year.
