Where does Vilsack Really Stand on the Iraq War?

Tom Vilsack recently has been outspoken against the Iraq War and has been getting noticed for his anti-war positions.

Today, Kos takes a look at where Vilsack was on the War back in 2005. Kos looks into Vilsack's statements and the statements of the DLC, which Vilsack headed. Kos concludes...

Of course, the DLC has been a haven for pro-war Democratic warmongers, and has been used by the media to paint a picture of a divided party. Vilsack, in charge of the operation, not only signed off on editorial decrees by the DLC opposing Murtha's and other withdrawal plans, but also gave safe haven for these warmongering "Democrats" to divide the party.

Then, when given the stage at the last conference he attended as chair, he refused to tackle the issue in any meaningful way.

And now he wants to claim he's an anti Iraq War crusader, and demands we tell him what we've done to try and help end this war?

Amazing.

But I'll tell you what lots of us were doing to help end this war -- fighting his very own organization's efforts to prolong it.
