Political Quotes

“What we are here for is a resolution that celebrates successes in the war on terror. Yet, to make their arguments, they might as well go back to World War II and all kinds of things that have nothing to do with the war on terror, with the national security of this Nation, with trying to protect the American people, and while we are doing that, spreading freedom and democracy around the world, because, Mr. Speaker, next Wednesday, the whole world is going to stop what it is doing and it is going to look toward the Tigres and the Euphrates Rivers, the cradle of civilization, and witness the miracle of democracy taking hold in Iraq. For a generation, the proud and resilient people of that great nation were brutalized by a dictator. Today, they are free, and next Wednesday they will take up their God-given, human right to self-determination. The resolution before us acknowledges all that has been won in Operation Iraqi Freedom and all that has been sacrificed in that victory.”
