Russ Feingold, commenting on the Senate floor today…the fifth anniversary of Congress’s passage of the Authorization to Use Military Force in Iraq.
“I will not stand idly by while this mistaken war continues. I will continue working to end this war and bring our troops home, and I will continue looking in the days and weeks ahead for opportunities to debate and vote on ending the war – this year, and, if necessary, next as well. My colleagues may complain, they may be inconvenienced, they may prefer to focus on other matters. But this Congress has no greater priority than making right the mistake it made five years ago when it authorized this misguided war.”
I wish Feingold were running for president. But, I guess Chris Dodd will have to do…even though he voted for the lousy war five years ago.
Five years is a long-time. No?
