A few good words from Joe Sestak
The McClatchy Washington bureau is reporting on a new bill put forth by Joe Sestak to deal with Our Dear Embattled Leader's Glorious Little War.
After the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, U.S. Adm. Joe Sestak commanded a carrier battle group in combat near Afghanistan, then in the Persian Gulf in the run-up to the Iraq war.Welcome aboard, Admiral.
Now a freshman member of the House of Representatives, Sestak, a Pennsylvania Democrat, has introduced a bill calling for withdrawing all American forces from Iraq by the end of this year, while strengthening the U.S. military presence in the region and in Afghanistan.
Sestak, who defeated 10-term Republican incumbent Curt Weldon in November, has a Ph.D. in political economy and government from Harvard University. He served as the director for defense policy on President Clinton's National Security Council and once was the director of the Navy's anti-terrorism unit.
His bill would cut off most money for military operations in Iraq by Dec. 31.
