“I would join my colleague from New York in the heartfelt prayer that those who have been sent into harm's way will return safely and successfully following the liberation of Iraq, and, Mr. Speaker, I would make this point today as we gather in the people's House. Honest differences and reasoned dissent are welcome, but no one in camouflage today in the deserts of Kuwait or Iraq recognize bipartisan affiliation, and to those who would come to the floor to attempt to score partisan points in the midst of conflict, I would suggest that mission is sorely mistaken. We stand as one today, as Americans behind those in military service. We pray for their success, we pray for our Nation, and we pray that, the war is a brutal and nasty business, we hope this war will truly lend and lead to a lasting peace.”
