Wilson Announces Co-Chair of Victory in Iraq Caucus

Congressman Joe Wilson (SC-02) today announced Congressman Jeff Miller (FL-01) as co-chair of the Victory in Iraq Caucus.

Wilson originally formed the Caucus in 2005 with then-Congressman Mark Green (WI-08). Green did not seek re-election to the 110th Congress.

“I have the great pleasure of serving with Congressman Miller on the Armed Services Committee and am honored he is joining me as co-chair of the Victory in Iraq Caucus. I have the highest regard for Jeff as a colleague and a friend. I am confident that together we can trumpet the achievements of our troops in Iraq, work to ensure their victory in the Global War on Terrorism, and rally our colleagues to the cause,” stated Wilson.

“I want to thank my good friend Congressman Wilson for his unwavering support of our troops and for our military. He is a true patriot, and it is my honor to stand with him in support of victory in Iraq. Joe understands that the best way to assist our troops in theater is to give them the resources they need and the support from home they deserve. There is no greater mistake Congress can make than to repeat the blunders of the Viet Nam era Congress and systematically defund our troops in Iraq. Our men and women in uniform deserve better, and I look forward to working with Congressman Wilson to make sure that is what they get,” said Miller.

The mission of the Victory in Iraq Caucus is to honor the men and women of the US Armed Forces and promote their success in the Global War on Terrorism.

The Caucus recognizes and appreciates the importance of debate surrounding national security policy. The Caucus welcomes debate among its members regarding the best way forward in Iraq, noting all agree on the outcome: there is no end but victory.
