Issue Position: War in Iraq

Issue Position

War in Iraq:

We need to end the war and put into place a plan for bringing our troops home. Iraq doesn't need our soldiers occupying their country. What Iraq needs is our help to rebuild a country torn apart by an unjust war, and then let them get on with running their own independent nation. As soon as we start a real withdrawal, other nations particularly in Europe and in the Middle East can re-join in the rebuilding effort, including helping stabilize the area with international peacekeeping forces. And what we need here at home is to take the $720 million dollars a day we're spending every day in Iraq to rebuild our own country, which has been torn apart by eight years of abuse, mismanagement, unchecked greed and in some cases, outright larceny by the Bush Administration. As your Congressman, I will work hard to make sure that we stop paying the price for a war that hurts all of us.
