It was more of the same sloganeering that has not made us stronger or safer in the global fight against terrorism,

Given the 440th's outstanding performance as well as its excellent record of recruitment and retention, it is clear that the nation will be losing a valuable asset.

The Bush administration has been very successful in one thing: in intimidating people into not uttering the words timetable or timeframe,

The Bush administration has been very successful in one thing: in intimidating people into not uttering the words timetable, or timeframe,

In memo after memo, his writings were highly ideological and sometimes dismissive of the views of others,

He's got to do better than the shoddy piecing together of flimsy evidence that contradicts the briefings we have received by various agencies, ... I'm not hearing the same things at the briefings that I'm hearing from the president's top officials.

Make no mistake, our military readiness is already suffering, ... According to a recent RAND study, the Army has been stretched so thin that active-duty soldiers are now spending one of every two years abroad, leaving little of the Army left in any appropriate condition to respond to crises that may emerge elsewhere in the world. In an era in which we confront a globally networked enemy, and at a time when nuclear weapons proliferation is an urgent threat, continuing on our present course is irresponsible at best.

My view, as of this moment, is that to dismiss this case would be in appearance and in fact improperly short-circuiting this trial. I simply cannot say that the House managers cannot prevail regardless of what witness might plausibly testify and regardless of what persuasive arguments might be offered, ... I want to be clear that my vote against the motion does not mean that I am leaning in favor of a final vote to convict the president. I am not.

[The only likely contender for ‘08 who has so far made it clear that the war in Iraq is damaging U.S. national security and has actually proposed an exit strategy is Wisconsin senator Russ Feingold.] It’s time for senators and members of Congress, especially those from my own party, to be less timid while this administration neglects urgent national security priorities in favor of staying a flawed policy course in Iraq, ... Let’s see if we can remove the troops after we succeed with a series of steps by the end of December 2006.

If a trip is worth taking, members of Congress should be prepared to justify paying for it out of their office accounts.

The right thing for the United States right now is to refocus on the fight against terrorism,

The few minor changes that the White House agreed to do not address the major problems with the Patriot Act that a bipartisan coalition has been trying to fix for the past several years. We've come too far and fought too hard to agree to a few insignificant changes.

Last week the president of the United States gave his State of the Union address, where he spoke of America's leadership in the world, and called on all of us to 'lead this world toward freedom.' Again and again, he invoked the principle of freedom, and how it can transform nations, and empower people around the world. But, almost in the same breath, the president openly acknowledged that he has ordered the government to spy on Americans, on American soil, without the warrants required by law. The president issued a call to spread freedom throughout the world, and then he admitted that he has deprived Americans of one of their most basic freedoms under the Fourth Amendment to be free from unjustified government intrusion.

I think we have to at least openly consider at what point we can bring our troops home or, at least, to begin to bring our troops home. Not only from the point of view of making sure there is support from the American people for this continued effort but also to consider whether the large presence of American troops here could contribute to or feed the insurgency and whether in any way it makes it more difficult for a government of national unity to be created.

It?s the reality of a situation like this that when you have a large troop presence that it has the tendency to fuel the insurgency, because they can make the incorrect and unfair claim that somehow the United States is here to occupy this country, which of course is not true.
