CONTACT: Brendan Daly/Jennifer Crider 202-226-7616 Pelosi Statement on President Bush’s Comments on Iraq
Washington, D.C. – House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi released the following statement today on President Bush’s comments on Iraq at a news conference this morning at the White House:
"President Bush should have given more thought to the consequences of a failed state in Iraq before he launched his ill-advised invasion almost three and a half years ago. He did not have a plan for preventing chaos in Iraq when the war started. The mounting death toll in Baghdad and elsewhere in the country is stark evidence that he does not have one today.
"Our troops have been fighting in Iraq longer than we fought in Europe in World War II. The President’s promise to keep American forces in Iraq as long as he is in office is no substitute for an effective plan to complete the mission. ‘Stay the course’ has produced the situation President Bush now decries, and his repeated failure to offer a new direction provides no hope for a lessening of the sectarian violence that is the greatest threat to Iraq’s future.
"Democrats believe it's time for a new direction in Iraq, with responsible redeployment of U.S. forces from Iraq that begins this year. Our soldiers in Iraq should transition to a more limited mission focused on counterterrorism, force protection of U.S. personnel, and training and logistical support of Iraqi security forces."
Hey, she sounds IDENTICAL to a bunch of freepers, to be quite frank. Only she isn't as anti-bush as they are.
The enemy is not chaos. The enemy is muslim terror, muslim jihadism, muslim fascism, muslim imperialism, define it as you like.
And the secret plan is don't quit.
Also known as responsible cut and run.
In simple words Pelosi, Reid, Murtha and other Dem leaders want to cut and run as in Vietnam, Beirut and Somalia and negate the loss of our brave military who fought for freedom. I haven't forgotten and I say never again.
Re-deploy where?? Iran? Korea? Beverly Hills? Idiot woman!
"ill avised invasion..."
Starting to sound more and more like the sheehan kook every day!!
The Botox queen failed to mention that we still have troops in BOSNIA, that someone "she always looked up to" (wink, wink) had deployed years before we ever sent troops to Iraq.....I'm sure the omission was accidental.
In another statement from Pelosi, she also criticized President Lincoln for an ill-advised civil war and having no plan for the KKK violence.
It worked so well when we helped South Vietnam that way....
"As a member of the House Intelligence Committee, I am keenly aware that the proliferation of chemical and biological weapons is an issue of grave importance to all nations. Saddam Hussein has been engaged in the development of weapons of mass destruction technology which is a threat to countries in the region and he has made a mockery of the weapons inspection process."
