On the recordFebruary 17, 2007
You don't do it by asking them to disobey the President of the United States. You don't do it by urging the Senate and the House not to support the President of the United States. You do it by trying to get together and working on a bipartisan basis to solve our problems. None of us like war. I said the other day I hate war. I have been involved in the consideration of too many wars in my life, but clearly those people wearing our uniform in Iraq and Afghanistan need to know we support them 100 percent, and we don't stand here and talk about how we should find ways so they would not get their support, so we force the President of the United States to bring them home. We will bring them home with the new commander there and the new plan we are going to put into effect, a plan that requires a surge for the safety of the people there, to move in the country to carry out the plan. I support the President, and I urge the Senate to do the same.
