Vets Against Bush

I suppose it’s just a coincidence that no Iraq war vets are running as Republicans:
An organization of veterans disillusioned with President Bush’s handling of the Iraq war plans to launch a political action committee today dedicated to electing antiwar veterans to Congress.
The Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America PAC hopes to raise as much as $10 million this year to support veterans seeking House and Senate seats on platforms promoting a change of strategy in Iraq, said Jon Soltz, the group’s executive director.
Susie, you must have missed the sentence in the article that mentioned Van Taylor, who is an Iraq “liberation” vet running in my Texas district, currently held by Democrat Chet Edwards. Edwards is expected to win in this very Republican area, on name recognition. When he’s gone, the seat will almost certainly go red.
