Political Quotes

“30 years ago President Bush and Senator Kerry received their reviews from their respective commanders. Lieutenant Kerry, from Lieutenant Commander George Elliott: ``Lt. Kerry frequently exhibited a high sense of imagination and judgment in planning operations against the enemy in the Mekong Delta. Involved in several enemy-initiated firefights, including an ambush during the Christmas truce, he effectively suppressed enemy fire and is unofficially credited with 20 enemy killed in action.'' The evaluation from Lt. Bush's commander: ``Lt. Bush has not been observed at this unit during the period of this report.'' Now, we can debate what these two men did 30 years ago, or we can debate what this country is going to do on June 30 in Iraq in finding a government to hand to the people of Iraq that they respect and that will give them a sense of where they are going. It is worthy of having a debate of what happened 30 years ago, but I think it is very important to the people of this country that we debate what we are going to do on June 30.”
