First of all, I want to thank dutchblue for bringing to everyone's attention the hypocrisy in Commissioner McCracken's position on American workers.  It is because of that post that I started to do my own research on Mr. McCracken to see if he has been saying one thing and doing another.  And low and behold, what did I find but his flip flopping like a fish on the issue of the Iraq War.

On January 27, 2008, in front of a group of Democrats in Philipsburg, PA, the Centre Daily Times reported that when Mr. McCracken was asked about his position on removing troops in Iraq, he gave this response:

"You can't just cut and run," McCracken said. "You can't let that whole region fall apart over there."
