Nancy Pelosi: Iraq not our responsibility
Posted on Thursday, June 12 at 9:08am | By Carolyn Lochhead
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.”
She attributed Democratic gains in 2006 that gave her the House gavel to public exhaustion with the Iraq War.
