Wilson Votes to Support Troops

Congressman Joe Wilson (SC-02), member of the House Armed Services Committee and co-chair of the Victory in Iraq Caucus, today voted in favor of legislation to fund our soldiers’ missions in the Global War on Terrorism:

“After weeks of political showdowns, I am pleased Congress is finally sending a bill to President Bush that will provide our troops with the funding they so desperately need to continue their missions. Our military has already begun to feel the effects of funding restraint. I am hopeful this bill will right the course and enable Secretary Gates to run a fully-functioning Department of Defense.

“I remain disappointed the lives of our soldiers and the viability of our efforts in the Global War on Terrorism were endangered in hopes of scoring political points.”
