Robert C. Byrd: “Are these reports accurate? Is there now or will there soon be a cutback in the R&R leave for our troops in Iraq?”

I believe it was September 14, 2001, resolution might be used by the administration as a premise to attack Syria and/or Iran.

It seems to me that we ought to at least bow to the Constitution as we enter into this temple of the destructive doctrine of first strike.

Why should Congress not have some limitations on this? It is the taxpayers' money.

The size of the insurgency in Iraq has been consistently underestimated, in terms of the size and the force.
