“Those of us who disagreed with the plan to go into Iraq in the beginning--and now who disagree with the request that we put more troops into Iraq--we are not talking about the Normandy beach. That was an entirely different matter. What are we fighting for over here in Iraq? Why are the American people sending their boys and girls into Iraq, a country that has not attacked us? Why are we sending our boys and girls to have their blood spilled in that faraway country? For what? For what are we spending these billions of dollars? I cannot understand it. I say that most respectfully to the distinguished Senator, who is my friend.”
