Joe Knollenberg has opposed every attempt to impose timelines or benchmarks on the Iraqi's to force them to make political gains to strengthen their government.
Joe Knollenberg has opposed every attempt to mandate that the troops are fully equipped and fully trained. He has supported letting troops go to the front line without proper body armor and without appropriate armor on their vehicles. He has also voted against guaranteeing that only troops that have received appropriate training get shipped to Iraq.
But Joe Knollenberg is wrong. Very wrong. The majority of Americans do want timelines/benchmarks placed on the Iraqis and they want the troops to be fully funded and fully trained.
According to a new CNN poll, "57 percent want Congress to pass another bill with funding and timetables."
Slightly more Americans, 61%, support benchmarks instead of timetables.
Most refreshing is that the vast majority of Americans now realize that Bush and Knollenberg lied to get us into this war in the first place. According to CNN,
Fifty-four percent said they don't believe the Bush administration's assertion that the war is the "central front" in the war on terrorist groups that was launched after al Qaeda's September 11, 2001, attacks on New York and Washington.
65% of Americans oppose the war altogether.
50% favor Congress passing legislation revoking the original authorization for the war which would require Bush to seek new authorization.
Joe Knollenberg is WRONG on Iraq.
Joe Knollenberg is WRONG for Oakland County.
Joe Knollenberg is WRONG.
