"Iraq Before the War" radio episode

An audio recording by Oregon Congressman Les AuCoin on the lack of US preparedness leading up to the Iraq War. AuCoin emphasizes how the United States spent an abundance of money on military defense, but fell short when it came to providing proper life-saving flak jackets for troops. 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 aired in 2003.
