Jay Inslee on War & Peace

Democratic WA Governor; Former Rep/ (WA-1); withdrew from Presidential primary Aug. 2019

 


We need a president to stand up against drums of war

We have to determine whether a potential president has adequate judgment. I was called to make a judgment about the Iraq war. I was a relatively new member of Congress, and I made the right judgment, because it was obvious to me that George Bush was fanning the flames of war. Now we face similar situations. We need a president who can stand up against the drums of war and make rational decisions.
