Congressman just back from Iraq: Most Troops Want to Come Home
One of the last pro-war arguments falls, “Our troops want to stay and finish the job” is hereby exposed as BUllSHit. Seattle Post-Intelligencer
[Rep. Adam] Smith met several times with small groups of soldiers from Washington state and elsewhere during his time in Iraq.
While morale is good, most troops now say they want to come home, Smith said - a sharp contrast to his last Iraq visit in June 2004.
“They believe in what they are doing and what they have done, and believe they have made a difference, in terms of security and a civil society,” Smith said. “But the second part of that is they are ready to go home.“
Interesting that a Google News search for this quote shows only 4 sources have picked up this story (as of 12/6 noon EST), 2 newpapers and 2 tv stations, all from Washington State (home of Rep Smith).
