Congressman Brady Statement on the President's New Iraq Strategy

U.S. Congressman Kevin Brady (R-The Woodlands) released the following statement in response to President Bush's New Iraq Strategy.

"The President's message was clear: Iraqi government leaders must do more to secure their own neighborhoods immediately. America's commitment of troops and resources demands results. Failure is not an option.

"If our military leaders need the extra troops in Baghdad then Congress needs to back them. I have concerns about where we find the troops to build strength in Iraq because our soldiers and families are stretched awfully thin already.

But there can only be one Commander-in-Chief. If Congress starts interfering in battlefield decisions or refuses to fund our troops this war is lost. The consequences will be tragic."
