The administration's strategy is aimless, and sadly, it's rudderless. [The vote is] a victory for our troops and the American people.

Our troops and the American people need the president to pay more than just lip service to a strategy for the war in Iraq, they need him to lay out what that strategy is with clear markers by which success can be measured,

The vice president and this administration have a credibility problem, ... Rather than giving our troops a plan to move forward in Iraq and changing their failed course, they continue to ignore the facts and lash out at those who raise legitimate questions about how the administration misused intelligence in its rush to war.

According to my assessment, even if you have many more troops than others, how can that help you to victory?

We will stay in the fight until we have achieved . . . the victory our brave troops have fought for.

I also know he cannot lead troops to victory in a war when he has made it perfectly clear that he does not support the cause.
