Allen West on an Incident in Iraq

Lt. Col. Allen West (Ret.) is standing for Congress in an heavily Democratic District in Florida.

Despite that, he has a very real chance of victory.

While serving in Iraq, Lt. Col. West got into some trouble over the way he interrogated a prisoner.

Here is his side of the story.



Now tell me, do you now think more or less of the man?

If its more - I'm sure his campaign could always do with a few extra dollars.

Please support Col. West. I don't live in Florida, but Col. West is the kind of person we need in Congress, so I have contributed what I can.

This is what you call having your principles and beliefs in the correct perspective. His career was not as important as his men and their lives.

We need more potential statesmen like Col. West.

Wow. Lt. Col. West has to defend THAT? We've dumbed down war and interrogation that much! Unbelieveable how the liberals in Washington are using the military for its petri dish of social experimentation and chickification. We need to fight to win. Period. Minimize collateral damage when possible, but never at the expense of our boys. I like this guy.

It's not the most impressive part of his story, but "transparency" means something again.

Compare his record to Kerry's. No question who was selfish and who was concerned for others.

Col. West will make a marvelous public servant.

I don't have much money. Never have. But I sent the only check I've ever sent a politician to this man -- and I haven't lived in South Florida since 1975.

God Bless him; God Bless Trevor for posting; God Restore the Constitutional Republic of the United States of America.
