Texas Veterans Protest War in Iraq as Deceitful

[GreenPartyVoter]

AUSTIN, Texas - The U.S. government has deceitfully committed the country to an unjust and costly war in Iraq, returning soldiers from Iraq alleged Wednesday.

Gathered with a handful of peace activists outside the Texas Capitol, two Iraqi war veterans and a former military chaplain in Vietnam called for a withdrawal of U.S. troops.

Capt. David Harris, a resident of Arlington, Texas, who recently returned from a 14-month tour in Iraq, said he began to oppose the war after it became apparent that Iraq possessed no stores of biological or chemical weapons.

"There was a belief amongst the troops that we were going there to take down Saddam Hussein because he had weapons of mass destruction," said Harris, 33. "We're 16 months after the invasion, and still not a one has been found. That would put some skepticism in anybody."
