Wilson's Statement on Afghanistan Retreat Resolution
March 10, 2010
Congressman Joe Wilson (SC-02), member of the House Armed Services Committee and the House Committee on Foreign Affairs, today released the following statement before the House of Representatives voted on the irresponsible Afghanistan Retreat Resolution:
“I encourage my colleagues today to vote against this dangerous Afghanistan Retreat Resolution. I regret that Congress would even waste one second on this while our troops are fighting for victory to protect America’s families by defeating terrorists overseas. “We must support President Obama’s counterinsurgency strategy and trust our military leaders led by General Petraeus and General McChrystal,” said Congressman Joe Wilson. On the House floor this morning, Congressman Wilson highlighted the Newsweek article titled, “The Surge is Working.” Wilson’s Afghanistan Speech: Click here for video
