Political Quotes

“tomorrow the Prime Minister of Iraq will address a joint session of Congress, and I hope that he levels with us about the current situation in his nation. Over the past week, the violence in Iraq has been replaced on the front pages and the television screens by the violence in Lebanon and Israel. However, that does not mean that things are getting any better. In fact, last month more than 3,100 Iraqis were killed in sectarian violence. That is more than 100 killed every day. While the situation in Iraq continues to spiral out of control, the Bush administration is just simply incapable of coming up with a strategy that provides a new direction. And for 3 years now, the House Republicans have refused to demand any answers from this administration about its failures in Iraq. They have allowed the incompetence to continue without holding anyone responsible. Congress can no longer sit on the sidelines. It is time to recognize that our brave young men and women must come home. They must be brought home as quickly as possible. We must end this occupation of Iraq. We need to provide a new direction for this administration and for our country. The American people are insisting on that. ____________________”
