Sen. Robert Byrd responds

Sen. Robert Byrd rebuked the Bush administration for speaking more “nonsense.”

The American people have sent a clear message to Washington: it is time to start bringing our troops home from Iraq. Unfortunately, President Bush isn’t listening. That’s why the Congress has responded, crafting a new direction that will provide the Iraqi government with the necessary motivation to pursue real political reconciliation. The House and the Senate bills take different paths toward this goal, but each recognizes that the American people do not support an open-ended U.S. military occupation in Iraq.

I’ve always loved this old man, and his old, old face.
