bring our troops home and bring the war to a responsible end.

I don't want to give this President any excuse, or any opening for war.

This war was planned by Dick Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld.

I will not be a President who sends our Guard off to fight in a misguided war, while telling America's governors to hope that a big snowstorm won't hit next winter, or that a tornado won't come through town.

I don't oppose all wars. What I am opposed to is a dumb war.
