One of the first things that amazed me was that George Bush is responsible, and he is responsible because we didn't go to war with Iran from the same people that complain daily bitterly that we went to a war with Iraq and Afghanistan.

Again, I appreciate the gentlewoman's reservations and opposition for the reasons so stated. I respect them, but I feel this is the correct place to limit in the appropriations, to make sure that the private sector can compete effectively…

But I would hope that we would reevaluate where we are spending the tax dollars that are earned by hardworking Americans.

I am outraged that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) continues to make climate change a top priority.

Our Nation is facing serious threats to our security.

I am shocked that the Department of Homeland Security continues to make climate change a top--top--priority.

It is this member's opinion that there are a few folks in this town that screwed up Iraq, but it certainly wasn't the military, and it wasn't the Congress, either.

I have serious concerns with the strategy, and I use the term loosely, especially because the President doesn't seem to have a clear understanding of our enemy.
