I do support what we're doing.

I was in the Congress, in the 105th Congress, when we put forward the Iraq Liberation Act.

I'm from the 'show me' State, and what they're showing us is that the battle against terrorism is being carried out in Iraq today.

What that called for was regime change in Baghdad, because we had been fussing around for a long period of time with Saddam Hussein.

We've got to keep moving them down Ambassador Bremer's seven-point plan towards developing a constitution, ratifying a constitution, and ultimately having elections and transferring sovereignty.

It seems to me that we have been under attack.

The President seeks as part of this $87 billion supplemental bespeak grandeur of vision equal to the one which created the free world at the end of World War II.

The $20.3 billion in grants to Iraq the President seeks as part of this $87 billion supplemental bespeak grandeur of vision equal to the one which created the free world at the end of the Second World War.

State-of-the-art must be obtained so that they can train effectively.

That is why the President's $87 billion request has to be seen as an important element in the global war on terrorism.

Extremism, bred in a swamp of despair, bankruptcy, and unpayable debts, gave the world fascism in Italy and Nazism in Germany.

If we fail to recreate Iraq with a sovereign democracy sustained by a solid economy we will have provided the terrorists with an incredible advantage in their war against us.

Equipment is critical for them.

That the money be granted and not loaned is essential.

I don't believe that the United States has anything to apologize for, but I wonder if, in hindsight...

Some Iraqis are beginning to regard us as occupiers and not as liberators.

Democracy could not flourish unless Europe's devastated economies were rebuilt.

I think overall, TEA-21 has been an excellent bill; it always could use some improvements.
