I understand what you're saying. In deference to Coble however (and I rarely cut republicans any slack) he represents a red state with a lot of military bases and families based here. He has to be supportive of them and protective as well. Not an easy task I'm sure.
This is not the first time he has called for an exit strategy from Iraq and I'm sure it won't be the last.
But the nice thing though is that at least he is listening. ;)
"I just think that a lot of my constituents are tired of getting a lot of troops killed," Coble, who represents the Greensboro area, said Thursday. "They're getting impatient."
