Nadler, On The Floor, Kicking Booty

The Iraq War is President Bush's war.

The President deceived the American people and Members of Congress when he made the case for war. Every reason we were given for invading Iraq was false.

Weapons of Mass Destruction? Not there.

Saddam Hussein working hand-in-glove with Al Qaeda? Not true.

And the more information that leaks out, the more apparent it becomes that these were not mistakes, but deliberate lies.

I ask you: if the President had gone to the American people and said we must invade a country that poses no imminent threat to us, and sacrifice thousands of lives in order to create a democratic government in Iraq, would we have assented? I think not.

And as the President now says to us that we should continue indefinitely to expend American blood and treasure to support one side in a sectarian civil war, should Congress continue to consent? I think not.

We need to say "Enough already!"

Enough with the lies, and the deceit and the evasions!

Enough with the useless bloodshed.

We must protect our troops and ensure their safety while they are in Iraq


....and the truth shall set us free.
