Pelosi Statement on Third Anniversary of War in Iraq
“This Sunday marks the three-year anniversary of the war in
“As the senior Democrat on the Intelligence Committee at the beginning of the war and one who saw most of the intelligence leading up to it, I knew that the intelligence did not support the threat. We were told our troops would be met with rose petals. Instead, they were met with rocket-propelled grenades. We were told that this was a country that could afford its own recovery, yet we are still paying the bills with no end in sight.

It’s long past time to heed the calls of Congressman Murtha and redeploy our troops over the horizon in a time frame and manner that addresses their safety.”
“ Democrats are united in presenting a New Direction for America, one that will make our nation as strong as its people, one that brings opportunity, security, and prosperity to all Americans. ”
Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi
