[Peace-discuss] "Rep Johnson is opposed to the surge"

[Karen Medina]

Johnson's office continues to say that he is against the surge of troops in Iraq and Baghdad (yes, a distinction was inferred).

They also said that a statement will be made in the local media. 

So I am guessing that Channel 15 or some other media has made contact.
