The Hypocrisy of Nancy Pelosi on Osama Bin Laden


It should no surprise that Nancy Pelosi is another political opportunist. If you need the perfect example, check out how she continues to flip on the subject of Osama Bin Laden. After 9/11, she was unified with the Bush Administration to deliver justice.

Soon after, Democrats and liberals began attacking George W. Bush for his seven minutes of silence at a Florida elementary school. Coincidentally, Obama took 16 hours to make a decision to take out Osama Bin Laden, a man who was responsible for the death of 3,000 Americans. Obama had to "sleep on the decision."

Let's put Pelosi under the microscope. In September 2006, Pelosi working to weaken Bush to take over the House of Representatives, Pelosi states, "Even if [Osama bin Laden] is caught tomorrow, it is five years too late. He has done more damage the longer he has been out there. But, in fact, the damage that he has done . . . is done. And even to capture him now I don’t think makes us any safer.

Now that Obama killed Osama, Pelosi has something quite different to say as Obama seeks reelection.

"The death of Osama bin Laden marks the most significant development in our fight against al-Qaida. . . . I salute President Obama, his national security team, Director Panetta, our men and women in the intelligence community and military, and other nations who supported this effort for their leadership in achieving this major accomplishment. . . . The death of Osama bin Laden is historic."
