“While soldiers are killing insurgents, insurgents are killing our soldiers. Iraq's Prime Minister is said to have considered amnesty for the growing number of insurgents, quote, as long as their hands weren't stained by Iraqi blood. This kind of talk will only encourage more aggression against U.S. troops, more U.S. casualties, more U.S. deaths. Our soldiers are sitting ducks in a shooting gallery. If we really cared about them, we would bring them home. Iraq's leaders will ultimately seek peace and reconciliation with its diverse armed groups through renouncing U.S. presence. Yet we are building permanent bases there. It is time for our Nation to seek truth and reconciliation over 9/11 and the war in Iraq. Otherwise our national agenda will continue to be held captive in Iraq. The Bible says, ``Ye shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free''. The truth is, Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11, did not have weapons of mass destruction. The truth is that in the name of fighting terrorism, we are creating more terrorists. ``Ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall set you free.'' We must free ourselves from this war. We must reconcile with those who wrongly took us into Iraq. We must seek the truth. ____________________”
