Huh?
That's the only possible response to what Congressman Mike Rogers' staff had to say regarding an anti-war group's press conference Thursday.
Americans Against Escalation in Iraq is targeting the Brighton Republican for a series of protests this summer in hopes of getting him to split with George Bush's disastrous policy in Iraq, as other Republicans have begun to do. Two more defected just this week.
The Livingston Press & Argus could not get a response directly from Rogers for its story about the press conference in Friday's edition. He also ducked out of the Brighton 4th of July parade earlier this week.
But the Press & Argus quoted a Rogers' staffer as releasing a statement that said, "Congressman Rogers will continue to fully support our troops."
What, pray tell, does supporting the troops have to do with whether or not they should stay in Iraq and remain sitting ducks in a civil war between factions in that country?
If Rogers fully supports the troops, why doesn't he want to end the failed mission in Iraq and bring them home to their families, friends, homes, jobs, and lives?
