Walsh's vote shows public he is listening

U.S. Rep. James Walsh last week took a bold position in his vote on the House's rejection of President Bush's Iraq policy.

In speaking out against Bush's decision to send additional troops to Iraq, Walsh demonstrated that he heard the voice of the voters this past fall.

In 2002, Walsh voted to authorize the use of force in Iraq. But since that time the “evidence” that Iraq posed a serious global threat has been discounted; Iraq's tyrannical leader has been executed; and a newly elected government has begun to take shape there.
