Mike Padgett on War & Peace

Democratic Challenger

Bring home our troops and our billions of dollars

Five years into the fighting in Iraq, the war on terror has lost its focus and Osama bin Laden remains at large while the US spends billions on Iraq as Americans face a recession, Mike Padgett said. "Tennesseans want to see their loved ones, their heroes who are serving, as well as the dollars being spent, come home," Padgett said. "There are critical needs for both that are not being met. There may be 'no doubt' in the president's mind about Iraq, but there is plenty of doubt in the minds of Americans." Source: Press release, "Time for Troops to Come Home" Mar 19, 2008
