“I am a little disturbed at some of the words I heard on the Senate floor this morning. The minority is trying to take the President apart at the cost of our troops, and we cannot stand for that. We have people fighting in Iraq. Two weeks ago I was in Germany, and I met with some of the wounded troops. We thought we would have to pump them up, but they pumped us up. Their message to us was: How come everything sounds so bad back home when it is improving in Iraq? They said the people of Iraq appreciate what we are doing. We are making a difference. Let us do our job. Then we hear this rhetoric which is just based on a Presidential election. It has nothing to do with the true feelings in Iraq or the protection of our troops. In much the same way, I hear people on that side of the aisle trying to scare seniors about Medicare. Seniors are about to get the best advantage they have ever had since the founding of Medicare, and that is the new prescription drug program.”
