Over
10 years ago, and only months into the US-led invasion of Iraq,
Tennessee Republican Congressman John J. (Jimmy) Duncan called it
correctly:
"Neo-con interventionist
foreign policies are only breeding resentment, creating even more
enemies, and putting our children and grandchildren into a financial
black hole so deep they may never get out. There is nothing
conservative about the U.S policy in Iraq."
– Congressman John J. Duncan (Republican-TN District 2), 9/24/03
Congressman Duncan was, incidentally, one of only seven Republicans in the entire US Congress who voted against HJ Res 114 (the Iraq War Resolution) in October 2002. Seven. Six in the House of Representatives, and one only in the Senate. Of the seven, Jimmy Duncan is the only one still in office.
