On the recordMarch 13, 2008
we are at the fifth anniversary of the war in Iraq, a war based on lies. A war that has cost the lives of over 4,000 of our brave young men and women, the injuries to tens of thousands, over 1 million innocent Iraqis have perished, a cost of up to $3 trillion. Let us speak out for peace, as the Winter Soldiers today are speaking out for peace by communicating the truth of a soldier's experience in Iraq and Afghanistan. Let us speak out for peace as the young people involved in the Stop Loss project are doing. Let us speak out for peace and stop financing this war and use the money to bring our troops home. Let us speak out for peace, for international peacekeepers to move into Iraq as our troops lead. America has had a long period of silence about this war. Let us be silent no more. Let us speak out for peace.
