Here is how Iowa's Congressman support Bush's plan to escalate the war in Iraq. From Think Progress...
| Boswell, Leonard | D | House | IA-3 | Lean Oppose | Link |
| Braley, Bruce | D | House | IA-1 | Oppose | Link |
| King, Steve | R | House | IA-5 | Support | Link |
| Latham, Tom | R | House | IA-4 | Refused to Answer | Link |
| Loebsack, David | D | House | IA-2 | Oppose | Link |
| Grassley, Chuck | R | Senate | IA | Support | Link |
| Harkin, Tom | D | Senate | IA | Oppose | Link |
It is interesting that Tom Latham is one of 38 of 535 members of Congress that refused to answer. Latham issued
this statement...
“‘The situation, as it is, is unacceptable,’ said Latham. ‘We’ve got to find resolution in Iraq … we’ve got to have the Iraqi government actually get control of the country. I am skeptical about what the best course of action is to take, I honestly am.’”
Latham basically is saying that with Democrats winning in the 1st and 2nd districts that his district will be more of a target for Democrats. Latham put his finger to the wind and knows that 70% of Americans oppose Bush's plan of escalation. That or Latham is still waiting for his call from Tom DeLay to tell him how to vote. In the end, Latham will try to play both sides and then will roll over like he always does and vote with Bush.
