Re: House Iraq Debate–Iraq, Not War On Terror, Is Issue

by Mass. Dem. Rep. Marty Meehan - 06/15/06 2:23 PM ET

We were promised a debate on Iraq, and this is not that debate. This resolution is an entirely political document. It confuses support for the troops and the Global War on Terror with the War in Iraq. It amounts to nothing more than Republican propaganda that was drafted by political spinmeisters. The War on Terror and the War in Iraq are separate conflicts. To combine these issues is a disservice to the people who bravely serve their country every day and diverts attention away from what we should really be debating: Iraq.
