Iraq Resolution Will Only Divide House

I think that this resolution is purely to try and divide members of the House, unfortunately. Iraq is a very complex problem and when they cut off all the troops they’re not accounting for the reinforcements that are going to fight the Al Qaeda troops. Now, why would you do that?

I was a little bothered by the Speaker’s comments. She laced a lot of finance talk in her statement about what’s coming. That would be a disaster. You can never turn your back on the soldiers in the field like that. They are doing everything and more than we’ve asked them to do. You can’t turn your back on them. I hope it doesn’t get to that. I hope they come to their senses. I’ve got a resolution I’m offering that does provide some alternatives to the President. Because again, I am not sold on sending 16,000 combat troops. We absolutely have to have an Iraqi face on those units. There are other ways we can help them be successful.
