May 23, 2007
A Special Comment about the Democrats’ deal with President Bush to continue financing this unspeakable war in Iraqâ€â€and to do so on his terms:
For the president, and the majority leaders and candidates and rank-and-file Congressmen and Senators of either partyâ€â€there is only blame for this shameful, and bi-partisan, betrayal.
Few men or women elected in our historyâ€â€whether executive or legislative, state or nationalâ€â€have been sent into office with a mandate more obvious, nor instructions more clear:
Get us out of Iraq.

To he or she, fall the figurative keys to the nation.
To all the othersâ€â€presidents and majority leaders and candidates and rank-and-file Congressmen and Senators of either partyâ€â€there is only blame… for this shameful, and bi-partisan, betrayal.Good night, and good luck.
