More Trouble for Moran
Virginia Democrat Jim Moran is still under fire after blaming Aipac for the war in Iraq.
First it was a group of Jewish lawmakers from his own party that slammed Moran, and now it is the Speaker herself.
In a statement released Thursday Pelosi said: “I disagree with and reject Congressman Moran’s characterization of AIPAC. AIPAC did not lead us into this disastrous war in Iraq. President Bush and Vice President Cheney did.”
