Pelosi Statement on Saddam Hussein Verdict
House Democratic Leader ^

Posted on 11/05/2006 10:03:25 AM PST by Sub-Driver

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE November 05, 2006

CONTACT: Brendan Daly/Jennifer Crider 202-226-7616 Pelosi Statement on Saddam Hussein Verdict

Washington, D.C. – House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi issued the following statement today after former Iraqi President Saddam Hussein was convicted in an Iraqi court of crimes against humanity:

“The Iraqi people are to be commended for bringing Saddam to justice in an Iraqi court. I commend our brave American troops in Iraq as well, for the trial could not have taken place without the security and logistical support they provided.

“Unfortunately, the verdict is a solitary incident in a country wracked by sectarian violence and instability. Saddam’s conviction and sentencing for the crimes he committed against his own people in the 1980s were expected. It remains to be seen whether the results of the trial will have any effect in ending the civil war that now engulfs Iraq.

“Nearly three years after Saddam’s capture, the U.S. Central Command said that Iraq is near chaos. That is clear evidence of the lack of progress in bringing security to Iraq and bringing American troops home.

“The failure of President Bush and his Administration to have a plan in place before the war started to complete the mission successfully was a disservice to our troops, and has come at a huge cost in casualties suffered, the degradation of our military’s readiness and in hundreds of billions of taxpayer dollars. The scope of that failure is not lessened by the results of Saddam’s trial.”

Thank you! I pray that one day she gets so much Botox, it paralyzes her hateful mouth shut!

First, I pray for her soul's salvation.

Second, I agree with you in prayer on the above. Amen!

Not if the democrats had had their way, it wasn't expected -- instead, Saddam would still be in power, would have nuclear weapons, and the democrats would be running ads about how Bush was soft on terror and didn't pay attention to the importance of reining in Iraq.

There is no silver lining without a storm cloud for these people. Our greatest leaders have always had unbounded optimism, but not Ms Pelosi and company

This bitch just has to follow up her comment with Bush bashing. What a worthless POS. God help us if she becomes Speaker.

This bitch could screw up the celebration of the birth of a newborn child.

I would love to be in the room when her next grandchild is born, just to be able to say.......

" Great, congratulations, the baby is healthy!! However, at the other end of life, it's just going to die anyway, so why make such a big deal of it. Besides, the child will be forced to make choices and suffer in life. The child may become victim of a terrorist and have it's head cutoff. Now, lets get back to politics.....anybody going to lunch?"

Could somebody please call me when the bitch falls off the planet.

I have great difficulty in dealing with the concept that ANY PATRIOT of the USA would vote or not vote, such, that there would be ANY chance that this bitch and her like, could even remotely stand a chance to rise to power.

If Nancy Pelosi becomes Speaker, it will be a solitary incident for a political party wracked by sectarian violence and instability.

That must have been painful for her to say.

This is the same crowd who want to IMPEACH THE PRESIDENT over SIXTEEN WORDS in ONE SPEECH which happen to be 100% TRUE.

I guess some "solitary incidents" are better than others.
