Newly-elected Rep. Gus Bilirakis, R-Tarpon Springs, who succeeded his father,Michael, said he wasn't yet convinced that Bush is on the right track. He planned to fly back to Florida on Friday night "with a stack of information,"talk to military experts and constituents before making up his mind.
Why not include a visit to the trauma ward at Haley VA so you can see firsthand what a traumatic brain injury looks like (you know the kind of injury your beloved stem cells might someday cure)?
Now, below is every recorded statement by Gus Bilirakis on Iraq (don't worry this won't take long because his campaign, I must say, did a fabulous job of hiding him all year from the public)...
This was October 2005...
Bilirakis said of the war in Iraq, “We’re on the right track, and we’re doing the right thing.” (St. Petersburg Times, 10/26/05)
Then there was September 2006...
Bilirakis said, “Talking to soldiers, things are better than they were before. I think they needed to make some adjustments and the recent adjust was a good adjustment – bringing more troops to Baghdad because that’s where they’re needed.” (St. Petersburg Times, 9/28/06)
On to October 2006...
Bilirakis “finds little fault with the handling of the war in Iraq.” (St.Petersburg Times, 10/16/06)
Then the week before the election at THE ONLY DEBATE...
“Well I feel that they voted three times for democracy and we need to put pressure on the Iraqi government, that’s what I would do, put pressures and set timetables for the Iraqi government to secure their country…” (WEDU Debate,02:17, 10/28/06)
Thirty seconds after he said he supported timetables for the Iraqi government, Bilirakis said, “I’m not in favor of a timetable, I don’t want our enemies knowing what we’re doing.” (WEDU Debate, 02:47, 10/28/06)
That's it - all done... the definitive record of Gus Bilirakis on the Iraq war...
