House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi on military intervention in Liberia:
"The special historical relationship between the people of the United States and the people of Liberia compels us to do what we can to end the suffering there. Therefore, I support the deployment of a limited number of American military personnel, as part of an international force that includes the United Nations and West African nations, to help bring peace to Liberia.I'm still seeking the quote from Pelosi that says"The atrocities of Charles Taylor are well known. I agree with President Bush that Charles Taylor must leave Liberia. The sooner he leaves, the sooner the lives of the Liberian people will start to improve."
"The atrocities of Saddam Hussein are well known. I agree with President Bush that Saddam Hussein must leave Iraq. The sooner he leaves, the sooner the lives of the Iraqi people will start to improve."If you can find it, please let me know. Posted by Stefan Sharkansky at July 30, 2003 10:55 AM
Did Ms. Pelosi ever argue that Iraq would be a distraction from either Afghanistan or the War on Terror? Could she explain why Liberia would be neither?
