It's past time for a plan to ensure that our mission in Iraq is a success and that our brave men and women in uniform can begin to come home soon.
The reality in Iraq is that we are creating new terrorists and severely damaging the public impression of the United States in the Muslim world.
It is past time for Republican leadership to answer for record deficits and reckless spending, both in Iraq and in the U.S. It's time for a plan to bring our troops home.
We should not mislead the Iraqis into thinking they have unlimited time to reach a settlement. The longer they think that, the less likely they will be to act.
We were told this war would be over in a matter of weeks, and that the Iraqis would be able to finance it with oil sales. We were promised it was not a mission of nation building.

In the last two and a half years, since George Bush became president, our nation has hemorrhaged 2.5 million manufacturing jobs, ... Ten percent of our manufacturing jobs have disappeared. ... Good jobs in steel and auto and textiles.
