Let me be very clear: I in no way suggested my friend from Virginia didn't act in good faith. That is the story of his life. I just say, another study? Look at the one in the newspapers today. They studied what is going on in Iraq today with the explosive devices--the people getting killed and maimed and injured. How many more studies do we need? The study that has already been completed in the minds of the American people is to change course in this civil war. We have too many people being killed and injured in that war. The course needs to change. I care a great deal about my friend from Virginia, but that doesn't take away from the fact that I have to call his amendment what I think it is. It is my opinion it is weak.
