“What I heard again and again is that folks at home want the Senate to change course in Iraq, and they want us to fix health care. I believe very strongly that we don't support our courageous troops in Iraq by forcing them to referee a civil war there. I think it will become clear this week that there is growing and bipartisan interest in the Senate to set a specific deadline to force the Iraqis to make the decisions for themselves about how they will govern their Nation. So what I want to do is talk for a few minutes about health care-- something I know the President pro tempore of the Senate has a great passion about as well, and certainly folks are talking about today-- because the need to fix health care is so great.”
