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 don’t 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.

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

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, Iraq’s Islamists were suppressed (brutally), and Iraq was a foe of Iran.”

Nothing more needs to be said.

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.

As a postscript, remember that multi-million dollar embassy we built in Baghdad a few years ago? Money down the old rat-hole.

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.
