Issue Position: The Iraq War

Issue Position

Congressman Blumenauer, who served on the House International Relations Committee in the run up to war, was an early and staunch opponent of the Iraq War. He voted against the Authorization for the Use of Military Force and attempted to block the rush to war by prolonging and strengthening weapons inspections in Iraq. Since 2003, Congressman Blumenauer has opposed open-ending funding for Iraq, denounced the conduct of the war, and spoken out about its devastating impact on our troops, our readiness, the conflict in Afghanistan, and our stature around the world.
