Title
"Iraq and the Bush State of the Union Address" radio episode
Description
An audio recording by Oregon Congressman Les AuCoin in which he responds to President Bush's 2003 State of the Union Address, when Bush called for the invasion of Iraq over their supposed holding of Weapons of Mass Destruction. AuCoin recalls serving in the military during the Cuban Missle Crisis and contrasts the clear nuclear threat from the Soviets at that time with the dubious evidence of a nuclear threat from Iraq. He predicts that winning a war in Iraq would be far easier than keeping order in Iraq after the war is over. This is one episode from AuCoin's biweekly radio show on Jefferson Public Radio (JPR), which ran after he had retired from office. The majority of episodes feature his commentary on current political events, often focusing on issues important to southern Oregon where JPR is based. This episode probably aired in late January or early February 2003.
