Rep. Peter King (R-NY) Says That Being In Baghdad Is ‘Like Being In Manhattan’
On Feb. 9, 2006, House Homeland Security Chairman Peter King (R-NY) spoke at the Merrick Jewish Center in Merrick, NY. King told his constituents that "the situation [in Iraq] is more stable than you think." He cited "bumper to bumper traffic," shopping centers, restaurants, video stores, vendors, and hotels to conclude that being in Baghdad is "like being in Manhattan." ThinkProgress has obtained exclusive video from a person who was at the event. Watch it: (at link)
