One news source says:
"she has a history of making statements that are inflammatory, controversial, questionably informed and that require further explanation. Until now, the most famous of those was her assertion that there was a plan already in place to partition Iraq and give half of it to Iran."

I don't know if the idea of dividing Iraq in half and giving it to Iran has a shred of truth, never heard of such an idea before but the sweeping implications of it leaves me breathless.

Either the implications of how wild her statements can be or how wild our policies in Iraq can be.

This item says: "she's sorry."

And that article says her opponent is benefiting
"donors are throwing money at Elwyn Tinkleberg at a dizzying pace.

Over $1 million has been raised since Bachmann’s TV appearance. That’s more than he brought in during the entire third quarter.

Of the 20,000 donors contributing to the cool mil, 16,000 of them are from out of state."

It would be cool to see her lose for what she said. Not only "send a message," but turn the USA away from this path of religious wars and patriot tests of loyality.
