Political Quotes

“All of us are transfixed by images that come over the television, as we listen to the radio, and as we read the newspaper about the war in Iraq. We are reminded on a minute-by-minute basis of the heroism, bravery, and determination of our Armed Forces. Last week, there was a resolution commending the Armed Forces for their efforts, as well as standing, by the President as Commander in Chief as he leads these forces into battle. That resolution was enacted by a vote of 99 to 0, with all Senators present voting in favor of it-- all Democrats, Republicans, and Independents. It is an indication of the solidarity in this Chamber behind the men and women in uniform. The amendment which I will offer during the course of the budget resolution debate today will be further evidence of our solidarity behind the men and women in uniform.”
