Pelosi: Iraq invasion 'was wrong then' [View all]

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said on Sunday that U.S. intelligence at the time did not justify the 2003 invasion of Iraq.

“It was wrong then and the intelligence wasn’t there,” Pelosi told former Rep. Patrick Murphy (D-Pa.), the host of MSNBC’s “Taking the Hill.”

“Knowing what we knew then, this intelligence did not support the threat,” said Pelosi, who served as the ranking Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee at the time.

“We have to address the record on that,” she added.
