Pelosi: President Should Take Responsibility for His Failed Iraq Policy
Washington, D.C.
-- Speaker Nancy Pelosi today released the following statement after the White
House announced that President Bush and Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki
have signed a declaration of principles on the continued U.S. presence in Iraq:
“President Bush’s agreement with the Iraqi government
confirms his willingness to leave office with a U.S. Army tied down in Iraq and stretched to the breaking point, with
no clear exit strategy from Iraq.
“The President should take responsibility for his Iraq policy rather than expect the American people or the next Admisitration to bear the consequences of his mistakes. The
President can do that by working with Democrats who are fighting every day to
bring our troops home responsibly, honorably, safely and soon.”
