“as Mr. Delahunt so eloquently pointed out, and has time and again, the Iraq Watch, which you four Members initiated along with Mr. Abercrombie and Mr. Kucinich, has done a great job for the Nation. People often ask, why do you come down and speak in what is an empty Chamber? And my response is, out of love of country. It is for love of country that you get to ask the unwelcome questions to this administration. But in a one-party town where the administration controls every agency and both Houses of Congress, we can't penetrate through, except for all of those meetings that are taking place in town halls and at forums and now on the blogs, that people all across this country get it. Someone who has gotten it throughout his entire career and someone who has served his Nation out of love of country and a great city is Major Owens. I would like to recognize him at this time.”
