McDermott pens HuffPost Iraq piece

Rep. Jim McDermott wrote an op-ed in the Huffington Post today to mark the 5th anniversary of the Iraq War by considering what might have happened had the US not  been involved. The piece criticizes nearly every aspect of the war, from starting on the strength of a "diversionary tactic by an administration with no proof" through every "casualty in Iraq" and "casualties to American families and communities" and the domestic policy sacrifices that have come as a result of the money spent over there. McDermott concludes with a plea for voters to "resolve to make the November election the time when the American people issue new orders at the ballot box to end this war."
