GREENSBORO, N.C. - U.S. Rep. Howard Coble, a Greensboro Republican and close ally of President Bush, says the United States should consider pulling out of war-ravaged Iraq.
Coble is one of the first members of Congress to suggest a withdrawal publicly.
The 10-term congressman said in an interview with the News & Record of Greensboro that he’s "fed up with picking up the newspaper and reading that we’ve lost another five or 10 of our young men and women in Iraq."
Support among Coble’s 6th District constituents has also waned, his office said.
The dean of the state’s congressional delegation said he arrived at his position only after many months of searching in vain for evidence that the Bush administration had a post-invasion strategy to deal with the transition to Iraqi self-government.
