Statement from Congressman McCaul on the President's plan to end the war in Iraq
February 27, 2009
“I support the President’s decision to reduce our troop levels and ultimately end the war in Iraq. It is thanks to the strategy put in place by General Petraeus, the success of our troops, and particularly the surge that will allow the Iraqi people to take the reigns of a sovereign and stable nation that is not a safe haven for terrorists.
“While President Obama did not support the surge as a member of Congress, I am pleased that he is listening to our military commanders. I also commend this President for his support of our veterans, and for shifting our military resources toward Afghanistan and Pakistan and focusing on terrorist strongholds.”
