Dear Folks,

Many of you have now read those three columns I circulated yesterday in which John Edwards has opposed a troop increase and has called upon Congress to cut the funds. I replied to each one using the title of their respective pieces. Should you wish to do the same, here is the contact information: staff@iowapolitics.com, online@press-citizen.com and http://wcco.com/contact

Iowa Wire used the title, ‘Edwards urges Congress to block Iraq escalation’.

Iowa Politics used the title, ‘Edwards Keeps Up Tough Talk Opposing Troop Increase’.

Iowa Press-Citizen used the title, ‘I’m dead against an escalation of this war’.

I am asking that all do the same.

Thanks,

Mary!

Dear Editor,

I would like to respond to your column, “Edwards Keeps Up Tough Talk Opposing Troop Increase” Within days of President Bush’s State of the Union Address, 20 soldiers died in Iraq on Saturday. Besides these 20 doors that are being knocked on which will be met with pain, sorrow and outrage, how many more doors will be knocked on should President Bush and Senators McCain and Lieberman get it? What they are failing to realize is that this war went horribly wrong. Wiser congress members in the past cut the funds off that led to the shutting down of the Viet Nam War and it is up to these congress members to do the same. That wiser congress realized that no more of our brave soldiers be sent over to Viet Nam and this one must do the same concerning Iraq. This is one of the paramount reasons why I do support Senator Edwards in his bid to become our president. John Edwards is a realist and we need his sound judgment when so many wish to live in the world based on fantasy.

Best Regards, Mary MacElveen

  • Edwards, Kerry - Killary Clinton. They are all the same kind of joke.

  • Edwards made a visit to Israel in January, 2007.

    He reiterated his unconditional support for the State of Israel.

    I saw this posted somewhere in late January,,,good luck finding any mention in the MSM.

    I did find this posting at http://kydem.blogspot.com/2007/01/israeli-related-news.html

    Here’s how Senator John Edwards viewed things relating to Israel while he was at the Herzliya Conference.
    "Iran is serious about its threats," former US Senator John Edwards told the Herzliya Conference at the Interdisciplinary Center on Monday.

    "The challenges in your own backyard — represent an unprecedented threat to the world and Israel," said the candidate for the 2008 Democratic presidential nomination, referring mainly to the Iranian threat.

    In his speech, Edwards criticized the United States’ previous indifference to the Iranian issue, saying they have not done enough to deal with the threat.

    Hinting to possible military action, Edwards stressed that "in order to ensure Iran never gets nuclear weapons, all options must remain on table."[...]

    Edwards also spoke against the Palestinian Authority, saying the Hamas government was no partner, and that Israel should make efforts to strengthen Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas against Hamas.

    He also said the Palestinian government must know that foreign aid should not be take for granted, and that the US and Europe must do everything possible to make sure the money does not go to terrorists.

    Until Israel has a real partner, according to Edwards, Israel has the right, and indeed the obligation to defend itself, and should be strengthened militarily, politically, and economically.

    In a further display of support for Israel, Edwards went so far as to suggest that Israel should even be made a member of NATO, saying it was only natural that the organization would seen to include Israel next.
