At Representative Vern Ehlers’ town hall meeting yesterday, Ehlers asserted that the war is a major priority for Congress and explained that it is “not going well.” Ehlers said that the war needs to be “resolved” and rejected an immediate withdrawal from Iraq, stating that if the United States chooses to “pack up our goods and walk out the door it’s admitting defeat.” However, Ehlers offered no alternative proposals for addressing the war and dodged a question asking him about his complicity in war crimes.
