Political Quotes

“for 5 weeks President Bush has been telling the American people that they are safer now than they were before 9/11 even though all 16 of his intelligence agencies were telling him that simply was not the case. The Bush administration's own spy agencies say we are less safe today, and they put the blame on the President's decision to invade Iraq. If President Bush and Republicans here in Congress are serious on winning the global war on terror, they would not ignore this classified report and would finally join us in coming up with a new strategy for Iraq. It is clear that staying the course is simply not working. We have lost nearly 2,700 troops and spent upwards of $320 billion. And yet there are still no positive developments on the ground. In fact, things seem to be getting worse as more than 100 Iraqis are now being killed every day. Mr. Speaker, the war in Iraq and the occupation is making our Nation less safe. It is time that we redeploy our troops out of Iraq so we can finally achieve some form of national security. I mean real national security and real peace.”
