Nancy San Fran NanPelosi
Congresswoman-for-Life from the San Francisco Bay Area, born into a family of professional politicians. Formerly Speaker of the House, but it's not her fault they lost. Really. Noted for her heavily botoxed grimace...
spoke about the wave of violence hitting Iraq from Islamic murderous Moslems, 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 news hounds 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.
"It is a fact; the American people have been exhausted with wars," she said.
Pelosi reminded news hounds that the Bush administration had "misrepresented the facts" on the reasons for going to war "on a false premise."
"War begets war; it's just not a good idea," she explained, comparing it to a "flywheel" that provokes more violence.
"I think this represents the failed policy that took us down this path eleven years ago," Pelosi said.
