The failure of democracy in Afghanistan and Iraq would condemn every advocate of freedom in those two countries to prison or death.
We went to war on solid information, on information that had been gathered over 12 years.
I think the President will talk about what we are doing to achieve our goal of a peaceful, free, and prosperous Iraq.
I do hereby proclaim November 11, 2003, as Veterans Day.
