“I am so honored to be on the floor with Senator Joe Lieberman today and to listen to his remarks, frankly, to stand in the shadow of his leadership on this issue because he has been that, a bipartisan leader, recognizing, as he so appropriately has spoken, the leadership role that a Congress should take at this time in our Nation's history. And he has said it well. It is not one of micromanagement. It is not one of 535 generals all thinking we can act and think strategically about the engagement currently underway in Baghdad. It is our job, I would hope, to stand united in behalf of the men and women we send there in uniform to accomplish what we so hope and wish they will be able to accomplish, and that is the stability of Iraq, the allowing of the Iraqi people to once again lead their country and to take from it the kind of radical Islamic fascism that is well underway and dominating the region. This is not, nor should it ever become, a partisan issue.”
