Patrick Leahy actually said...

"I have supported President Obama's decision to refocus on the Taliban and al Qaeda in Afghanistan and Pakistan."

"I want to be in a position where we don't have to do each other's jobs."

"I want to know what the strategy is, and be sure that our goals are realistic and we do not get mired in a costly war that drags on indefinitely."

"I opposed the invasion of Iraq and believe President Bush's decision to do so was a colossal mistake that did nothing to make us safer and cost us dearly."
