Pelosi: ‘War in Iraq Is Making it Harder for America to Fight and Win the War on Terror’

Washington, D.C. – House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi released the following statement today on the New York Times report on an April 2006 National Intelligence Estimate which concluded that the war in Iraq was making the war on terror more difficult to fight and win.

“The news report on the National Intelligence Estimate is further proof that the war in Iraq is making it harder for America to fight and win the war on terror.

“Five years after 9/11 and Osama bin Laden is still free and not a single terrorist who planned 9/11 has been caught and brought to justice. President Bush should read the intelligence carefully before giving another misleading speech about progress in the war on terrorism.”

“ 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. ”
