John Shadegg said "I know that he believes deeply, as I do, that we have an obligation, having thrown out Saddam, as was needed to be done, a terrible dictator, to now help the Iraqi people. I think his illustrations of what we have done have helped. Quite frankly, when I do these special orders, I like to have them be a discussion between several people, back and forth. Stunningly, we have so many people here tonight that it is almost not possible to follow that form. One of our colleagues is the gentleman from Florida (Mr. Weldon). He is here, and I know he feels passionately that we need to rebuild Iraq, that the President is going in the right direction and that it is indeed a mandate in history, that this has lifelong consequences for our war against terror." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
