Jeb Bush Defends Immigration Flip-Flop, Stays Mum On 2016 Run

Monday, March 11, 2013


it was a collection of information that even had Pelosi calling for us to attack Iraq before Bush ever took office.


=======================

Pelosi wasn't calling for a US attack.  In 1998, in order to get the weapons' inspection back on track, she said, "SaddamHussein has been engaged in the development of weapons of mass technology which is a threat to countries in the region."

And then inspections resumed.  

In 2002, Pelosi opposed the Iraq AUMF,while stating that Iraq, like "other countries of concern", had WMDs. In explaining her opposition to the resolution, Pelosi noted that  GeorgeTenet had told Congress that the likelihood of SaddamHussein launching an attack on the US using WMD was low. "This is about the Constitution", Pelosi said. "It's about this Congress asserting its right to declare war when we're fully aware what the challenges are to us. It's about respecting the UN and a multilateral approach, which is safer for our troops."
