I have always said we needed more troops in Iraq.

I believe that there are a lot of things that we can do to salvage this, but they all require the presence of additional troops.

We have just one choice in Iraq, and that is to see our mission there through to victory.

Are we doing the things, organizationally and legally, that need to be done to prepare for it? Yes.

We had a carrots-and-no-sticks policy that only encouraged bad behavior. When one carrot didn't work, we offered another. Now we are facing the consequences of the failed Clinton administration policies.

The bill would cover methods such as water boarding, extreme hypothermia and sleep deprivation.

It's clear we have to have the moral high ground and we cannot violate the Geneva Conventions.

This is an argument for prevailing in Iraq and succeeding in Iraq so that they won't be further encouraged.

the spirits of the Geneva Conventions have been preserved.

What I worry about is we're playing a game of whack them all here. We move troops -- it flares up, we move troops there.

Civil war.
