Robert C. Byrd: “Mr. Secretary, you seem to be counting all coal research. Mr. Bush cited in specificity the Clean Coal program, not coal…”

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

Well, I have to tell you, Mr. Secretary, this seems to me to be an abuse, a serious abuse, of supplemental appropriations requests.

In closing, may I say that the President's request includes $658 million for construction of the U.S. Embassy in Iraq.

the same situation that obtained prior to the entry of the war with Iraq might, in some respects, lend itself to a repeat in the case of Syria and/or Iran.
