We see the political process in Iraq as providing an opportunity to the country to rebuild itself ... we don't see this as dividing Iraq, we favor a unified Iraq,

To compete in the Olympic Games has always been a dream. The opportunity I have to represent my country at them is unbelievably exciting.

President Bush had an opportunity tonight to say, 'Look ... things aren't going very well in Iraq and we did make some miscalculations and misjudgments there,' but he is so stubbornly arrogant -- he just sticks with that same formula that he has in talking about the war on Iraq that just defies the reality that we all see on the ground.

I think we should take Iraq and Iran and combine them into one country and call it Irate. All the pissed off people live in one place and get it over with.

That is a solid, established and well rounded package for a country like Iraq.

Iraq policy cannot be seen as a partisan issue. The costs to our country have been far too great. No part of our nation remains untouched by this war. The military, the economy, social programs, and most important, our families and communities have all suffered because of this war.
