"I firmly believe Congress must unconditionally fund our troops in Afghanistan and Iraq," Herger stated in a news release. "Regrettably, the new House leaders developed a plan mandating that our troops leave Iraq under fixed timelines -- even if our generals in charge believe such withdrawals are not in our national security interest.
"Our nation's mission in Iraq is too important to fall victim to congressional micromanagement. For this reason, I opposed this measure."
