Not a lot of time to write as I spend a fast-paced day in gorgeous Salt Lake City (the mountains surrounding the city are incredible).
We'll be pre-recording today's Tuesday Fighting Dem in a little bit. Featured will be Jeff Latas in the Arizona 8th congressional district.
Now a commercial pilot, Jeff Latas is a just retired fighter pilot in the United States Air Force. "We should have never invaded Iraq based on the false and misleading evidence that Iraq was an immediate threat to our country. While I was assigned to the Pentagon (1994-1998), before the weapon inspectors were expelled from Iraq, I had extremely high level access to intelligence on Iraqi weapons of mass destruction. From the knowledge that I had on this issue, I cannot support or pardon our President for invading and occupying a country with our sons' and daughters' lives. My own son served in Iraq. He went to help stabilize the current situation, but even many military leaders are now admitting that this strategy is less and less likely to succeed, given our current relationship with the people in the Middle East. I blame this failed initiative on the President and those who back him without question."
