GOVERNOR RENDELL ISSUES STATEMENT ON THE BEGINNING OF THE WAR WITH IRAQ

Governor Edward G. Rendell issued the following statement on the beginning of the war with Iraq.

"As U.S. military forces begin operations to liberate Iraq from the deadly grip of its ruthless dictator I join every American in praying for success with as little loss of life as possible. I recognize that some of our fellow citizens harbor doubts about the wisdom of the action President Bush has taken. But, the time has come to unite behind the President and support our troops. The young men and women who are bravely wearing this country's uniform into action deserve no less. May God keep them and protect them in the difficult days to come."
