Keller hates the Troops, Loves Flip Flops

In addition to a significant loss of life, the war in Iraq has cost the taxpayers of District 8 more than $1.5 billion. How does Keller feel about that? He's not sure. Some times he's in favor of the surge, sometimes he's opposed to it. He doesn't know what to think.

2.16.07: Keller voted for a resolution criticizing the troop surge [H Con Res 63, #99] - "Interjecting more young American troops into the cross-hairs of an Iraqi civil war is simply not the right approach. We are not going to solve an Iraqi political problem with an American military solution. And that’s my best judgment."

7.12.07: Keller voted against the Responsible Redeployment from Iraq Act (HR 2956) requiring the responsible redeployment of American troops from Iraq to begin within 120 days and to end by April 1, 2008 - "At the time [in February], I felt more troops on the ground would not result in an Iraqi solution. Unfortunately that was accurate," Keller said. But he said he now thinks that if the U.S. leaves too soon, "Iran would exert its evil influence over a shaky Iraq government."
