Saddam Hussein was a brutal tyrant. I am glad he is now on trial for crimes against humanity. But, opposition to a dictator is not the measure I use when deciding whether to send our men and women in uniform off to war and possible death.

Every day it becomes clearer that this was the wrong war at the wrong time.

The idea that we're going to win this war is an idea that unfortunately is just plain wrong.

The Jews have opened fire, and they are unready to begin a war.

The constitution of the United States is a law for rulers and people, equally in war and in peace, and covers with the shield of its protection all classes of men, at all times, and under all circumstances.

Destroyers were the first to herald our entrance into the war.

If your government had given me a thousandth of the sum it spent to depose me, I could have won that war.
