Mark Warner said "Lastly, when we look at the enormity of the sacrifices of our country over these many years now--most notably the tragic loss of some 3,000, almost 3,800 individuals and many more wounded, and expenditures of so much of the taxpayers' funds--the contributions of all of that has gotten us to where we are today. The keystone of those achievements is the sovereignty that has been given to the Iraqi people. That is the major contribution of the enormity of our sacrifice through these years. So in no way did we want to backstep from all of this hard-fought ground to achieve sovereignty for the Iraqi people." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
