Governor Chet Culver is defending his recent, two-day trip to Iraq. Jonathan Narcisse, a Democrat who announced this weekend that he’s challenging Culver’s reelection, called the trip nothing more than a “photo op” for Culver.
Culver says this weekend’s trip was “absolutely” justified. “I am the commander-in-chief of the Iowa National Guard and have a duty and an obligation to support our troops,” Culver says.
“And as far as I’m concerned that means being there with them, on the ground, in combat, to show my support and my commitment to doing all I can to help.”
