House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi made it clear Thursday that she would oppose renewed U.S. intervention in Iraq, which is under assault from Sunni forces sweeping down from the north.
The San Francisco Democrat said at her weekly press conference that there is “no appetite in our country to be engaged in any military activity in Iraq.”
“I don’t think this is our responsibility,” Pelosi said of the recent violence. “I do think we were irresponsible going into Iraq for a variety of reasons.”
At her press conference, Pelosi also expressed scorn for defeated House Majority Leader Eric Cantor.
“I have as much sympathy for Mr. Cantor as he would want me to have for him,” Pelosi said.
Asked if Cantor’s defeat had prompted other incumbents to fear for their jobs, Pelosi said Republicans have made the House “an unsafe place for children and other living things. I don’t think this is making it any worse.”

Benghazi wasn’t your responsibility either.
FUNP
Hey NASTY! Neither is Mexican, Central American and South American poverty. Tell your boy “messiah” to stop importing it to Arizona. You lowlife bass turds!!!!
F you Pelosi , you r a dirtbag that needs to be retired
Go wash your hands, bitch, they have blood on them.
the leader of these savage barbarians was a US prisoner from 2005-2009
Bush’s fault
he was released “for unknown reasons” in 2009
Obama’s fault
The illegal “chilrun” obama is dumping along the border aren’t our responsibility either — chuck em back across immediately.
Neither was Syria but our President didn’t seem to have an issue bombing them to protect his precious militant sand diggers.
Who’s side is this guy on?
FUNP!
I supported the war and got off on being an arm chair general. Now I find that I was sadly mistaken. The Neocons talked Bush into the war without thinking about the strategic implications (Iraq checked Iran in the Middle East chess game). Nation building was a scam to justify our involvement, sucking our treasure down an Islamic black hole.
The current resident of the White Hut I am sure is enjoying this strange turn of events. I will pray to God that the souls of our fallen are at his side and that the hearts of their families are given additional healing.
Yet she voted to authorize it.
Let’s not forget our role in Egypt either. The people eventually threw out Obama’s Muslim Brotherhood.
The number one tenet of a liberal is ‘take responsibility for nothing.’
There are several thousand Americans still in Iraq. The only troops that have been sent in so far are Iranian. What do you think they will do to Americans when they find them. Evacuate all Americans now before hundreds are taken hostage. You only have a limited amount of time. We have no US air bases in Iraq. Most cities are landlocked. Wake up you idiots !
Did you forget that both parties believed for years that Saddam was involved in getting WMD's?
All intel services throughout the world, the Clintonites in the 90's, and the UN all believed the same.
Even the inspectors said that had Saddam been allowed to remain in power he would have pursued WMD's.
But Libya was our responsibility? What about eqypt?
