Fox News tells the story:
House Minority Leader John Boehner was booed on Wednesday at a construction workers’ union legislative forum for saying the United States needs to fight the war in Iraq or face terror attacks at home.
“Who doesn’t believe that if we just pull out of Iraq and come home that the terrorists won’t follow us here and we’ll be fighting them on the streets of America?” Boehner, R-Ohio, said to members attending the AFL-CIO’s Building & Construction Trades Department’s legislative forum.
Apparently, most in the crowd don’t believe it. Boos from the audience grew louder as Boehner continued, “This is a, ladies and gentlemen, this is a serious fight.”
