    Here are a few of the better quotes:
    “Two thirds of Americans, myself included, do not trust the President’s
    judgment when it comes to this war. It is a conflict that has been defined
    by mismanagement and misinformation since before it began, and the results have been devastating for the Iraqi people and for our men and women in uniform.”

    “Corruption, fraud, and a lack of oversight have haunted every aspect of our involvement in Iraq, and have posed a mortal risk to our troops. They have faced armor shortages for years in part because Pentagon contracts were given to companies that weren’t up to the job.”

    “Our troops are being asked to do something that no army can do: find a
    military solution to a political problem. If the mission we have given our
    brave soldiers is the wrong one - and the past four years prove that this
    escalation is the wrong mission - then why would we help our enemies by
    refusing to change course?”

    “Twenty soldiers from Western New York have died in Iraq. We owe it to them to speak about this conflict honestly, and to refuse to give this
    Administration another blank check to send our troops on the wrong
    mission.”
