Dear Friend,

As you may have recently seen in the news, sectarian violence has dramatically increased between warring factions in Iraq. As a military parent and a member of the House Armed Services Committee, I am closely following the situation and have deep concerns about the use of troops in Iraq. While there are many ideas about how involved the United States should be, I want to know what you think.

Take this quick poll and tell me your opinion.

I have traveled to Iraq multiple times to meet with the troops and receive on the ground briefings from the commanders who were leading the war. I believe that when United States troops left Iraq, we set the stage for the Iraqi government to make their own decisions. I am disappointed in the failure of Iraq's current leaders for not creating a more inclusive and peaceful partnership.

I will continue to monitor the situation and hope that you will take a quick poll to let me know your thoughts.

Sincerely,

Dave Loebsack
Iowa's Second District
