On the recordNovember 18, 2005
I want our troops home as soon as anyone here, but I will not let the sacrifices of those who will never come home from Iraq and Afghanistan be wasted or forgotten. Our brave men and women went to battle to bring freedom to Iraq and Afghanistan, and to take the fight to the terrorists so that we do not have to fight them here at home. This is a fight for the free world. It is a fight that we must win, and it is a fight that we will win only when we support our troops. Let us work across the aisle to help them succeed and get them home safely, and let us honor their sacrifice by continuing to support their vital mission.
