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.”

“Saddam Hussein certainly has chemical and biological weapons. There’s no question about that.”

“For the past 13 months, we have stood shoulder-to-shoulder with President Bush to remove the threat of terrorism posed by Al Qaeda. Our work is not done. Osama Bin Laden, Mullah Omar and other Al Qaeda terrorist leaders have not been accounted for. We have unfinished business. We are risking the cooperation that we have from over 60 nations who are sharing their intelligence and helping us in the war on terrorism. We cannot let this coalition unravel.
Is ANYTHING your responsibility?
Just retire already.
I hope this ugly hag dies a long and painful death. It isn’t enough that she and her comrades spit on our fallen soldiers, they want to defecate on them as well.
DAMN you, Pelosi, you filthy traitor.
Of all of the things coming out of San Francisco, none has created more nationwide trouble than this one.
some day some where some one will publish a list of Gitmo detainees and what they did after release. The CIA probably has such a list.
Can’t we just email Ed Snowden and get it?
one source for everything, good stuff
She would have opposed supporting the South Vietnamise as well. Millions died there and Cambodia after the democrats abandoned them. She is looking for a repeat and will blame George Bush. You can count on that.
