Ms. Pelosi is determined to revise and amend the record on the Iraq debate to reflect her apocryphal belief that it was Republicans who spent the last two years — yes, the “surge” years — trying to prevent Democrats from heroically changing course in Iraq, through what she calls a “tyranny of the minority.”

Does she really believe we're that stupid?
