Quote of the week

We have a weekly mascot, i'm thinking we should have a weekly quote. Here's one from a very prominent democrat who is refusing to play politics, and is putting his country, his principles, and the brave men and women of the armed services ahead of his or his parties personal ambitions.

"I strongly supported the war in Iraq. I was privileged to be the
Democratic cosponsor, with the senator from Virginia, of the authorizing
resolution, which received overwhelming bipartisan support. As I follow the
debates about prewar intelligence, I have no regrets about having sponsored and
supported that resolution because of all the other reasons we had in our
national-security interest to remove Saddam Hussein from power -- a brutal,
murdering dictator, an aggressive invader of his neighbors, a supporter of
terrorism, a hater of the United States of America. He was, for us, a ticking
time bomb that, if we did not remove him, I am convinced would have blown up,
metaphorically speaking, in America's face. ... The questions raised about
prewar intelligence are not irrelevant, they are not unimportant, but they are
nowhere near as important and relevant as how we successfully complete our
mission in Iraq and protect the 150,000 men and women in uniform who are
fighting for us there." --Senator (and Gore's 2000 VP candidate) Joseph
Lieberman on the Senate floor Tuesday"
