August 23, 2007 -- Washington, D.C. – Speaker Nancy Pelosi released the following statement today on the new National Intelligence Estimate (NIE) on Iraq. Below are also key quotes from the NIE:
“In today’s National Intelligence Estimate, the American people were presented with yet more evidence that the Iraqi government has failed to take the necessary steps to reach political reconciliation. Our military has performed their duties excellently, but the purpose of the escalation in Iraq was to create a secure environment in which political change could occur, and it is clear that the Iraqi leaders have failed to make progress.
“We need a New Direction to bring our troops home from Iraq so that America can refocus its efforts against terrorism worldwide.”
