Tom Vilsack: Congress Should End the War NOW!

Much as I have been liking Edwards and Obama so far (not to mention Al Gore), I have not been ready to commit to a candidate yet. In fact, as I recently wrote, I feel the Democrats have an unusually strong and exciting field of candidates this time around.

So, to add one more voice to those of Al Gore, Barak Obama and John Edwards who are calling for a rapid end to the Iraq (and Iran?) quagmire, here is a message from Tom Vilsack:

Tom Vilsack’s message was heard loud and clear this weekend at the DNC Winter Meeting in Washington, DC -- it’s time to get troops out of Iraq, now.

"It is time for us to clearly say 'the war must end and our troops must be brought home now.' Let me say that I think Congress has a constitutional responsibility and a moral obligation to do it now. Not a cap -- an end. Not eventually -- immediately."

And for the record, it's hard finding good pictures of Vilsack. He has both name and lack of charisma working against him, but otherwise he isn't bad. Midwest Governor and all that could help.

Words to live by

"I believe in the separation of church and state.... We all have our own religious beliefs. There are people out there who are atheists, who don't believe at all.... They are all citizens of Minnesota and I have to respect that."


— -- Gov. Jesse Ventura, explaining why he refused to sign a National Day of Prayer proclamation (May 6, 1999)
