A Quote worth repeating and repeating and repeating...

".. In fact, at the same hearing where I took Dr. Rice (Condolina Rice) to task for the Administration's many false statements and changing justifications for the invasion of Iraq, I was extremely distressed to hear her lay out yet another even broader mission for our soldiers -- to remake the Middle East...Even more unbelievably, Rice insisted that rebuilding the entire Middle East has been the Bush
Administration's mission ever since 9/11. Well that is not what Congress voted for in either the resolution authorizing force in Afghanistan or Iraq, and it is not what the American people believed to be our goal. The Bush Administration is trying to perpetuate yet another classic "bait and switch," because Congress and the American people would never have supported an open-ended mission to remake the entire Middle East if the President had made his true intentions known up-front.  The Bush Administration's refusal to publicly discuss any timetable or even the specific conditions that must be met by the Iraqis in order to begin bringing our troops home leads me to believe
that they envision a never-ending war in Iraq, and that is unacceptable to me and a majority of the American people...." - Congresswomen Barbara Boxer, Friday 21, Oct 2005
