Political Quotes

“today I am proud to join with two of my colleagues--Senator Reed and Senator Roberts--to introduce legislation that will help America meet a critical challenge that, during the past decade, it has faced over and over: helping countries that have suffered from conflict work to rebuild their societies. Over the past two years, America has proved again that we have the finest military force in the world. In Afghanistan and Iraq, the men and women of America's military performed with great bravery and skill. By defeating the Taliban and removing Saddam Hussein's regime from power, they showed that they are the world's best trained troops using the world's most sophisticated weapons. This is a powerful example of the leadership and commitment both here in the Congress and in successive Administrations--both Democrat and Republican--to ensure that our military remains the best equipped, best trained, most prepared fighting force in the world. But these decisive military victories have been followed by a peace where success has not been so clear.”
