Political Quotes

“After all the loss of life, personal sacrifice and billions of taxpayer dollars, the President still does not have a plan for securing the peace in Iraq and bringing our troops home. After the continued failure of the Iraqi Government to make progress on political, social and economic benchmarks, the President chooses to stay the course in Iraq. After nearly 4 years, Iraq remains politically unstable and tragically violent. Instead of changing course and offering a viable plan to conclude America's military involvement, the President calls for an open-ended commitment to keeping our troops in Iraq for years to come. It is time to demand a new direction for Iraq, to focus our military on combating and defeating terrorism, to insist on a comprehensive diplomatic strategy to move the Iraqi Government toward national reconciliation, and to bring our troops home. This Congress stands by our troops. They've performed with great honor and they've accomplished all that we have asked them to do. It is time to bring them home. Vote ``yes'' to demand a redeployment plan. Vote ``yes'' to demand accountability from this President to bring our troops home from Iraq safely and responsibly.”
