On the recordSeptember 29, 2004
Why do we stand here and talk about this subject late at night? The reason is because the people who have made the decisions which have brought us to this current situation, this mess that we face in Iraq, where we have lost well over 1,000 of our soldiers' lives, where approximately 7,000 of our American soldiers have been injured, these same people, and I am talking about from the President to the Vice President Cheney on down to Secretary Rumsfeld, Paul Wolfowitz, Richard Perle and others, the so-called ``neo cons,'' they have made the decisions which have led us to this place where we are tonight. We are in a mess. We are in a quagmire in Iraq, and we talk about what has happened in the past because the same people who have brought us to this point want to remain in positions of decision-making.
