Senator Byrd just delivered an eloquent, powerful and scathing critique of this adminstration's policy of waging war. Senator Byrd outlined the Senate's pathetic compliance with the adminstration's war plans, alongside the utter failure of the adminstration's pre-emptive war doctrine.
Senator Byrd described the pre-emptive doctrine as "nefarious" and unconstitutional.
Senator Byrd's passion is incredible. You could see he was very emotionally distraught while noting the deaths of 2000 American men and women in Iraq, which he interestingly linked to the number of years since Jesus' passing.
While Senator Byrd is not my Senator, he certainly speaks for me. He has been steady in his vociferous opposition to this toxic war, and this adminstration's odious foreign policy. God Bless Him.
Senator Lautenberg has just taken the Senate Floor to deliver his feelings regarding the Iraq War.
