John F. Kerry: “Concrete action must be taken now if we are to ever address the problem”

I'm going to vote for you because of the standard I have about the President having intelligent, bright people, if they're honorable--and you're all of those things--he gets to choose who he wants.

Time and again, this administration has tried to leave the American people with the impression that Iraq has well over 100,000 fully trained, fully competent military police and personnel. And that is simply not true.

It's about candor. It's about telling the full story.

This is the most important part of this hearing, as far as I am concerned, so I apologize for not being able to listen to each of you.
