“Many of my colleagues have expressed serious concerns about the war in Iraq. I would say now is the time to put those concerns into action. We have the power and the responsibility to end a war that is hurting our troops, our fiscal situation, and our national security. By voting for the Feingold-Reid amendment today, we can safely redeploy our troops from Iraq. I understand the bill's managers would rather not address Iraq on their bill. That is their decision. But I note this amendment has the strong support of the Democratic leadership. So I thank Senator Reid for his support and leadership. I urge my colleagues to support the Feingold-Reid amendment.”
