House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi spoke about the wave of violence hitting Iraq from Islamic militants, asserting that the United States does not have a responsibility to assist the country with military action.
I dont think this is our responsibility, but I do think we were irresponsible for going into Iraq for a variety of other reasons, she told reporters on Capitol Hill on Thursday.
Pelosi called the violence troubling but asserted that there was no American appetite for further military action in the country

The Iraq war was never won
Islam has been continuously at war with the rest of the world for 1400 years.
There is no way to win a war with a people who’s basic religious tenets is to instruct it’s believers to fight jihad against all who do not convert to Islam.
The best you can hope for is to contain them and keep them from attacking others, including ourselves.
Think of the Cold War not against atheistic communism but against radical Jihad.
In that we were successful after 10 years of world wide conflict
Syria and Egypt wasn’t our respnsibility either yet Pelosi encouraged US intervention.
Says she who meets with Assad with her Gucci headscarf. Should have been on a po.. can’t finish that sentence..
I never said I wanted us back in Iraq. I simply pointed out that all the D’s that voted to go into Iraq are now blaming it squarely on W. That’s all.
How about pulling your post, cleaning up the language and reposting it? We know that you’re ticked off. Stop the trash talk. There’s too many wives and moms on FR for it to be spouting this stuff on every other thread..
She also supported a Obama on Libya. The way I remember it she said she was concerned about preventing a humanitarian disaster.
As proto-AQ guys pour in on the Sunni side and Iran sends in Al Quds guys on the Shiite side, strangely enough perhaps Joe Biden would be the best person to “handle” the situation ?
“When Saddam was in power, Iraqs Islamists were suppressed (brutally), and Iraq was a foe of Iran.”
Nothing more needs to be said.
She is just a stupid old battleaxe
Bush got us into Iraq based on a lie so we don’t have to do anything now is the ‘rats’ line, as per the likes of the-out-of-this-world Dennis Kulcinich or however it’s spelled on Fox tonight - like Truman got us into Korea, so why should Eisenhower have done anything.....
Expanding on that, any town we capture—up goes Ol Glory! And their ‘family’ AKs go into a bonfire in the middle of town. No rules of engagement, one rule: kill the enemy.
No more ‘nation building.’ That was neo-con BS.
And liberals wonder why the rest of the world has a hard time trusting us.
As a postscript, remember that multi-million dollar embassy we built in Baghdad a few years ago? Money down the old rat-hole.
I want to be on record here and now as one pining for the good old days when Saddam was in power.
What Pelosi does not understand, is her policies and delusions have started this world spiraling down into WWIII
Close your eyes and Terrorism just poofs. See how easy that is?

I blame it on W. Damn right I do. You break it, you bought it, as Colin used to say. Well we broke it real good.
