Congressman Trent Franks (AZ-02) talked to Neil Cavuto about President Obama's speech announcing the "end of combat operations in Iraq." According to Franks, President Obama seems to be trying to take credit for policies -- including the 2007 troop surge, which then-Senator Obama strongly opposed and the December 31st, 2011 target date for full withdrawal -- that were put into place under the Bush Administration, well before President Obama took office.

Washington (Aug 31) Following are excerpts from House Republican Leader John Boehner's (R-OH) address on national security, set to be delivered today at 2:10pm EST in Milwaukee, WI at the 92nd American Legion National Convention, in advance of President Obama's Oval Office Address to the Nation on Iraq: IRAQ: "This day belongs to our troops, whose courage and sacrifices have made the transition to a new mission in Iraq possible. ... When General Petraeus embarked on the surge strategy in January 2007, it was widely viewed as our last chance to save Iraq from spiraling into an irreversible descent toward chaos. The consequences of failure then, as now, were severe. Some leaders who opposed, criticized, and fought tooth-and-nail to stop the surge strategy now proudly claim credit for the results. ... Today we mark not the defeat those voices anticipated -- but progress." ********** AFGHANISTAN: "I support our counterinsurgency strategy in Afghanistan, but the president must do more to emphasize his commitment to ensuring its success rather than focusing on meeting arbitrary deadlines for withdrawal. ... Using campaign promises as yardsticks to measure success in Iraq and Afghanistan runs the risk of triggering artificial victory laps and premature withdrawal dates unconnected to conditions on the ground." ********** MIDDLE EAST: "Iran is more than prepared to sacrifice the well-being of its people for the chance to fundamentally change the balance of power in the region.

Congressman Trent Franks (AZ-02) criticized the Obama Administration for what he called a lackadaisical attitude toward the border. Franks noted that the 1200 National Guard troops that were sent to the US/Mexico border (524 of which would be sent to Arizona) were sent a month later than promised and were far fewer than the 6000 troops requested by Franks, as well as Arizona Senators McCain and Kyl. Franks stated that the Obama Administration does not seem to understand that border security is not just about immigration, but is about our greater national security. Franks also strongly criticized the Obama Administration's decision to classify Arizona's immigration law, SB 1070, as a "human rights abuse" on a report to the UN, noting that the law did nothing more than enforce the federal laws that have for so long been on the books but have been ignored by the federal government.

“The only way proponents of this bill were able to argue they were saving money was to cut Medicare by nearly a half-trillion dollars, raise taxes and fail to address the compensation issue for doctors,” Crapo said. “I wrote the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office to try and answer the question about deficit reduction. The CBO’s review shows that the claims for deficit reduction are false.”

Crapo said many in Congress expect physicians to drop Medicare patients if they continue to face massive payment cuts. Seniors on Medicare will react negatively once they learn that the Medicare cuts in the bill will likely result in fewer providers in the program and decreased access to care. When you add these factors together, he said, Congress will likely prevent the Medicare cuts and physician payment cuts from occurring, further exacerbating the deficit reduction issue.

A report issued this month by Medicare’s own trustees backs Crapo’s assertions. Rick Foster, the Chief Actuary of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), said the Medicare cuts mandated in the new health care law are unrealistic, would threaten access for seniors and likely result in higher federal spending than what had been projected. His report said the savings provisions in the law were unsustainable and likely to be overridden by Congress.

Crapo stressed that his letter did not, as critics have claimed, ask for the costs of a “full repeal” of the health care bill. He wrote the letter to show the effects on the national debt, should Congress act to prevent the scheduled cuts from taking effect. He said the findings of the CBO and the Medicare trustees make clear that there are huge problems ahead for the health care legislation.

“Americans must never forget that the brave service and sacrifice of our fallen soldiers was not made in vain, and has both made the United States safer and helped ensure better lives for millions of Iraqis. There are many challenges ahead in maintaining forward momentum, but today’s milestone is an important opportunity to reflect on the hard-fought battle to bring peace and stability to a very troubled region of the globe.”

Yesterday, CNN's Situation Room highlighted a web video released by House Republican Leader John Boehner (R-OH) which credited our troops with the success of the surge in Iraq. CNN also offered a preview of an address Leader Boehner will deliver at the American Legion National Convention later today at 2:10pm EST, as Wolf Blitzer noted: "President Obama won't be the only one publicly addressing this milestone in Iraq tomorrow. Republicans will have a voice as well. The House Minority Leader John Boehner is planning a major speech ahead of the President's."

As the drawdown of troops in Iraq continues, House Republicans are grateful to all the men and women in uniform, as well as their families, for the courage and sacrifices they have made, and continue to make, to advance freedom abroad and strengthen our security here at home.

Crapo joined Senators John Kerry (D-Massachusetts), Olympia Snowe (R-Maine) and Ron Wyden (D-Oregon) to introduce legislation that would cut in half the federal excise taxes for smaller breweries, saving money the small businesses can put back into the hiring of new workers and purchase of agricultural products like hops and barley used in the production of their products.

Crapo noted the larger number of bipartisan co-sponsors will make it easier to move the legislation. What started out as a bill with four original sponsors now has 24 co-sponsors and an improved chance for consideration and passage in the Senate.

Crapo will visit the Portneuf Valley Brewing Company in Pocatello on Saturday to discuss the legislation. He was invited to tour the brewery and discuss the tax proposal by owner Penny Pink. Crapo will also discuss the legislation with Idaho Grain Producers Association President and barley farmer Scott Brown of Soda Springs and Dan Kopman, representing the Brewers Association, based in Boulder Colorado. All four will tour the brewery and meet with local media to discuss the tax relief and job-creating legislation, S. 3339.

“In the past year I have invested tens of thousands of dollars into expanding my brewing capacity at Portneuf Valley Brewing,” said brewery owner Penny Pink. “The proposed Excise Tax Reduction bill will definitely help my business, as well as more than 1500 other small craft brewers in the United States, by allowing us to reinvest the $3.50 per barrel excise tax reduction back into our businesses to improve our operations by adding to or improving our existing brewing equipment and hiring new employees to run that equipment. Reinvestment of the tax savings by America's craft brewers will generate jobs and ultimately additional tax revenues at many levels.”

“The Idaho Grain Producers Association is thankful for Sen. Crapo’s leadership in bringing farmers, brewers, and consumers together under one roof to pass this legislation”, said Brown. “Idaho’s barley growers are proud of what they do, and they realize the value of the entire industry chain.”
