“We Need a New Direction in Iraq, Not More of the Same"
Supporters (and reporters) braved some very cold, blustery conditions this evening at the Aurora Municipal Airport in Sugar Grove, outside the airplane hangar where John McCain and Jim Oberweis were due to speak.
Bill Foster Statement:
“This election presents a clear choice: change or more of the same. I respect Senator McCain and his decades of service for this country, but when it comes to Iraq, I think Senator McCain, President Bush, and Jim Oberweis are flat wrong.
“Like George Bush, Jim Oberweis says we need to stay the course in Iraq. Under his plan, American troops will stay in Iraq until 2018 and beyond. That’s not a new direction—that’s Bush’s Iraq policies for another generation.
“We need a new direction for Iraq, not more of the same. Our troops have done their job—it’s time to redeploy from Iraq so the Iraqis will stand up for their own country.”
