Senate Iraq Resolutions
Thursday, June 22, 2006
The Senate is debating two resolutions on Iraq this week. Senator Obama discusses his support for the Levin amendment.
"Despite the fact that there have been some differences within the Democratic party, there is unity at this point that we need to bring our troops home as quickly as possible and that the Bush administration's simple-minded refrains of "we know best" and "stay the course" are simply not acceptable. It's not acceptable to conduct a war where our goals and strategies drift aimlessly regardless of the cost in lives or dollars spent. And that is where the Democrats are absolutely unified. That the Administration has not only poorly conceived this war but also poorly managed this war."
