Wilson Votes for Victory in Iraq

Rejects Democrats call for Early Withdrawal

Congressman Joe Wilson (SC-02), member of the House Armed Services Committee and co-chair of the Victory in Iraq Caucus, tonight voted in support of our troops in Iraq and their mission to bring stability to the region:

“As our troops on the battlefield seek to stabilize Iraq, win the Global War on Terrorism, and protect American families, Democrats in Congress are obsessed with retreat and defeat.

“Reason dictates that announcing one’s battle plans to the enemy only emboldens extremism and encourages future attacks. Unfortunately, under Democrat leadership, reason has been forsaken in favor of political opportunism.

“Once President Bush vetoes this legislation as he has promised, I am hopeful we can send a clean war supplemental bill to his desk and get our men and women the funding they so desperately need.”
