There was no Democratic leader telling the American people the truth about how the war in Iraq is absorbing so many resources it's making our country more vulnerable and less secure.

The real defeatists today,

There is sticker shock. It comes after Iraq. We have a time of war, rising deficits, Medicare and Social Security [shortfalls].

The search for the truth for truth's sake is the mark of the historian

I don't think those messages really get through. I think people know this demonstration is about the war in Iraq, and I think that theme overrides any other messages that may be off-message. You get what I'm saying? I think at every peace demonstration you have many voices, but I think the central message is about the war in Iraq.

I'm against this war, I'm against the torture. We're doing this for the people of Iraq.
