Governor makes strong statements about war in Iraq

By Eric Mason

SALEM, Ore. - Gov. Ted Kulongoski is calling the use of Oregon National Guard troops in Iraq unreasonable, unfair and unconscionable.

They are the strongest statements so far by the governor concerning the U.S.-led occupation in Iraq, the use of volunteer soldiers and the fact that the President has yet to talk about an exit strategy.

He also expressed concerns about the effect the war is having on the Iraqi people.

"These are very proud and independent people and they will not tolerate very long an occupying army in their country," he said.
