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.

Pelosi called the violence “troubling” but asserted that there was no American appetite for further military action in the country

Minimal action taken from the very beginning would have spared all of this from cascading

Since the mainstream media have always been 80% staunch Democrat it’s no surprise.

The U.S. govenrment has turned Iraq into an ugly nightmare.

In comparison, when Saddam was in power it was a shinning utopia compared to what it is now.

if we seized the country and all of it’s oil etc

How would that be any different from what the Soviets did?

How do you think that wouldn't build hostility to the point where it would push countries into the arms of the Chinese and the Russians?

I think your ultimate point is that you don't want us back in, right?

The bed wetting apologist never want to appear strong, and always afraid someone will be offended. Right mbj?

Did ya notice the Soviets...You can call them Russia, is demanding respect and flexing it’s muscles while America has becoming a laughing stock...No?

While the U.S. is one step away from total chaos, our veterans are tossed out like trash lucky to get any treatment, homos and illegal aliens calling the shots while they are being aided and abetted by our government, all while the U.S. is in debt to the Communist Chinese trillions...

Looken sharp there mbj.

Hmmmm ..?? Didn’t she vote to go into Iraq ..??

Why yes, SHE DID. Sorry Nancy .. you asked for and got an EXTRA vote after you knew the public supported going into Iraq.

If it’s a mess, it’s because you voted for and supported the current CIC .. who mucked it all up.
