Hare Wants Troop Support, Then Removal

Macomb, IL – Western Illinois U.S. Representative Phil Hare supports a U.S. House resolution expressing opposition to the troop surge in Iraq. He also says he wants better training and equipment for those who do go to serve. Hare believes the administration cannot achieve its goal of fostering Iraqi self-sufficiency without getting involved in negotiations with Iraq's neighboring states. He also says current administration efforts to cut support for veterans are "unconscionable."
