Nancy Pelosi from a press conference on September 7, 2006:

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.

Nancy Pelosi this week:

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. . . .


Just another example of the lack of integrity of some of our officials. The terms "obsequious" and "hypocrite" come to mind.
