Ronald Reagan allowed millions of people to walk in freedom today because he had the ability to challenge.

When the rest of the world stepped forward and challenged the Soviet Union. And I think because of that, there are people who walk in freedom today.

It is unfortunate that a million acts of kindness and goodwill and bravery by our troops have been overshadowed by the shameful acts at the prison in Iraq.

Wouldn't it help if there was clarity from you and from this administration that we would abide by the Geneva Conventions?

If we're not better than that, then I simply want no part in what we're doing.

Take away the Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD), the links to al Qaeda, and the singular reason for being here was the prospect of disposing of a ruthless dictator and bringing democracy to Iraq.

Wouldn't it be good for us, at this moment in time, to clearly and unequivocally state that we will follow the Geneva Convention?

Two-thirds of the Iraqis simply want us to leave as of yesterday, and every battlefield success appears to be nothing more than a Pyrrhic victory.

We decided we were going to invent something new.

I think this whole program is fatally flawed.

And we put in rules that are unintelligible to the senators and to the seniors.

the speaker gives in. House Speaker Dennis Hastert has agreed to allow the president's 9/11 Commission an extra 60 days to fin the work.

the House Speaker think it's wrong to make the issue, quote, "political football during an election year."

It's wrong to make the issue, quote, 'political football during an election year.'

Here we are, five months after the fact, after thousands of our inspectors have combed all of those sites and others and have come up empty.

I think it's the wrong one, and I think you're going to hear about it, as you should.

I think this would be a serious mistake.

I just don't think this is fair to military families.
