Senator Murray Meets with WA State Guardsmen at Camp Arifjan. _____________________

on the Senate floor, outlining her opposition to S.J.Res.46, a resolution authorizing the President to take unilateral action against Iraq, because it effectively ended Congress’ role in the process. -

Although, Senator Murray was opposed to the resolution, she has supported our U.S. troops throughout, and worked hard to make sure our commitment to our troops and their families is as great as their commitment to our country.

Senator Murray will continue working to ensure that our troops, who continue to be under attack everyday, have the resources and equipment necessary to protect themselves and complete their mission successfully. Murray will also keep pressing the Administration to come up with a plan to bring our troops home as soon as possible.
