Smith Voted Today To Keep Troops In Iraq - Again
Over and over and over again, Gordon Smith votes to keep troops in Iraq.
Today, facing yet another opportunity to back up his vows to get troops out of Iraq, Smith voted for the second time this fall and fourth time since May, to keep troops there.
The Feingold-Reid amendment that the U.S. Senate voted on today would have cut off funding for the war in Iraq effective June 2008. Smith voted against it. Oregon’s other U.S. Senator, Ron Wyden, voted for the plan.
If Smith truly wanted to end the Iraq War, why would he consistently vote to prolong it? Why would he not stand up and vote in Oregon's interest?
As DPO Chair Meredith Wood Smith has said before, Smith has proven he can’t be trusted on this issue.
“Oregonians simply can’t trust Gordon Smith on the Iraq War,” Wood Smith said. “Gordon Smith is a man of talk, not action. He will talk to reporters night and day about his reversal on the Iraq War, and then go to the Senate chamber and vote to prolong the conflict.”
