I'm more concerned about the long-term welfare of his wife and daughter if he has to go to Iraq. All indications are he will.

Everybody wants a timeline, but you can't get a timeline because, in Iraq, it's not a one-sided mechanical problem.

The statutes of the high court in Iraq requires a public hearing but he (the presiding judge) arbitrarily cut it off so that you the press and the rest of the world could not see what he said.

The coffin represents the massive casualties we're seeing in the war in Iraq.

More than half the American people now believe that the invasion of Iraq was a mistake, ... They're right. But it would also be a mistake to pull out now, or to start pulling out or to set a date certain for pulling out. Instead we need a strategy to create a stable, democratizing and peaceful state in Iraq -- a strategy the administration has failed to develop and articulate.

We can even use a NATO-led force if necessary to attack Iraq through the mountains between Turkey and Iraq, and actually moving into northern Iraq, and I hope that we would be able to do that.
