I urge Saddam Hussein to save the people of Iraq from violence, ... I urge him to take a step toward ultimately someday lifting the sanctions, I urge him to comply with United Nations resolution, and I want him to know that.
I don't want to be critical of the White House, but the key is to put the Iraqi campaign in the context of a regional struggle that includes elements in Syria , Saudi Arabia and Pakistan, and then put that in the context of the larger struggle against the irreconcilable wing of Islam,
Any effort to explain Iraq as 'We are on track and making progress' is nonsense. The left has a constant drumbeat that this is Vietnam and a bottomless pit. The daily and weekly casualties leave people feeling that things aren't going well.
I think this administration tends to have the right general policies but to be remarkably unwilling to look at how weak their instruments of implementation are. We threw away a year in Iraq because of our mistakes.
How this president handles the Middle East in general and wins in Iraq in particular will be probably the most important definition of his presidency.
Even if Iraq IS a civil war, people have won civil wars.
We're going to try to find everything we can to get the bill signed, and I have every reason to believe they'll be signed,
Isn't that the complete clear implication of that tape? And shouldn't somebody at the White House have a law enforcement responsibility to find out did the White House, in fact, threaten her job. Shouldn't that person be fired summarily?
I spent 40 years of my life getting us here, ... The idea that I would be the excuse to cannibalize the majority is so sickening I couldn't risk it.
I urge my colleagues to pick leaders who can both reconcile and discipline, who can work together and communicate effectively.
Every year that we wait, the risk increases. I would hope that the administration would decide to do something decisive. . . . We have the military power in the region if we need it. It's a question of whether we have the will.
President Mubarak has been a leader in trying to bring peace to the Middle East.
puts into question all of the Homeland Security and Northern Command planning for the last four years.
People can walk out, but what I'm saying is a fact about a crime,
