March 14, 2008 -- Washington, D.C. – Speaker Nancy Pelosi released the following statement today in response to General David Petraeus’ remarks Thursday that Iraqi leaders have failed to make “sufficient progress by any means in the area of national reconciliation”:
“After almost five years of war and nearly 4,000 American lives lost, General Petraeus’ admission proves that the President’s Iraq policy has failed. President Bush and other Republicans can no longer credibly claim that their status quo Iraq strategy is working.
“Americans demand a new direction in Iraq that includes responsible redeployment so we can strengthen our military’s readiness and refocus on the real fight against terrorism. Democrats in Congress wholly reject a continuation of the President’s 10-year, trillion dollar war in Iraq.”
