Nancy Pelosi: Iraq Is Not Our Responsibility

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi spoke about the wave of violence hitting Iraq from Islamic militants, asserting that the United States does not have a responsibility to assist the country with military action.

Pelosi called the violence “troubling” but asserted that there was no American appetite for further military action in the country.

Pelosi reminded reporters that the Bush administration had “misrepresented the facts” on the reasons for going to war “on a false premise.”
