“I yield myself 20 seconds for a quick quote, and then I am going to yield to the gentleman from Oregon. The quote: ``The people of England have been led in Mesopotamia into a trap from which it will be hard to escape with dignity and honor. They have been tricked into it by a steady withholding of information. The Baghdad communiques are belated, insincere, incomplete. Things have been far worse than we have been told, our administration more bloody and inefficient than the public knows. We are today not far from a disaster.'' This comes from Lawrence of Arabia, 1920. We should learn from our mistakes and other countries' mistakes. Madam Speaker, I yield 5 minutes to the gentleman from Oregon (Mr. Blumenauer).”
