“following President Bush's veto of the Democrat plan for defeat, the House voted yesterday to uphold the veto and override the Democrat attempts to micromanage the war. It is crucial that we achieve victory in Iraq as the central front in the global war on terrorism. Retreat will embolden our enemy. This will lead to the re-establishment of terrorist training camps from which our enemies would launch attacks against us and our allies. We should trust the leadership of General David Petraeus and our military leaders. As the father of an Iraqi veteran and four sons in the military, I know firsthand of the excellence of our troops. We must face the enemy overseas or we will face them again in the streets of America. I urge Democrat leaders to work with Republicans to pass a clean supplemental bill and get our troops the funding they need to carry out their mission to protect American families. In conclusion, God bless our troops, and we will never forget September 11.”
