It is time to withdraw our forces from Iraq. The 9-11 Commission and the Senate Intelligence Commission stated that there was no connection between Iraq and 9-11. Our military has done it’s best, but cannot defeat the growing Iraq Insurgency . Iraq is moving toward a civil war. Continuing to fight the Iraq war will only cost more American lives and waste more American tax dollars.

I believe we should begin a phased withdrawal of our forces. “Staying the course” is not a reasonable option . An abrupt withdrawal could cause a full scale Iraqi civil war and destabilize the Middle East . Other countries know this and will commit forces and resources for their own protection as we withdraw.

We are in a war we should not be in and that we cannot win. We should begin withdrawing our forces and hold Bush and Cheney accountable for this unnecessary war.

I support Greg Messer for County Supervisor District 3. A county supervisor needs to be able to make difficult decisions, gather information from multiple sources, be strong enough to support his beliefs, be flexible enough to change his mind if he finds he is wrong, be an effective team player , understand large budgets , supervise department heads and have a long range plan for the county.

Greg Messer is an honest man, has been an effective businessman, has supervised hundreds of people and has managed budgets of more than fifty million dollars. Greg is the only candidate with an adequate background to be an effective county supervisor. I recommend Greg Messer for County Supervisor District 3.
