Political Quotes

“a few moments ago, I heard my colleagues from both sides of the aisle express their grief over how the war has come home and visited families and loved ones within their district. In truth, this war is destroying the aspirations of people of both countries. Today, the United States Congress is being visited by workers from Iraq: members of the Iraqi Federation of Labor and members of the Federation of Workers Councils and Unions of Iraq, all of whom were involved in challenging the regime of Saddam Hussein; all of whom stand very strongly in defense of workers' rights, human rights; all of whom are seeking peace; all of whom are seeking an end to the war in Iraq. It is time for this Congress to put aside the partisan differences which have occurred over the war and to come together in a plan where we can unify to take steps to withdraw our troops from Iraq and to take steps to heal the breach which the war has created between America and the world community. ____________________”
