“I first want to quote the words of Roy Velez. Roy is from Lubbock, TX, and has lost two sons--one in Iraq and one in Afghanistan. Recently, Roy Velez said: It is not about President Bush. It is not about being a Democrat or a Republican. It is about standing behind a country that we love so much. I know it has cost us a lot in lives, including my two sons, and it has taken a toll on America. But we can't walk away from this war until we're finished. I don't know anyone who has earned the right to speak so directly to what is at stake, the sacrifices that have been made, and the consequences of our leaving Iraq before it is stabilized and able to govern and defend itself.”
