Reid: "Republicans Are Protecting The President Rather Than The

Troops"

 

Senator Reid's remarks Tuesday on the floor of the U.S. Senate:

 

"The American people deserve an up-or-down - yes or no - vote on this

amendment.

 

A 'no' vote on Levin-Reed would be a vote to 'stay the course' - to

continue the President's failed strategy indefinitely.

 

A 'yes' vote would finally bind the President to responsibly reduce

combat operations and return our focus to the real and growing threats

we face.

 

That is why I once again request unanimous consent to move to an

up-or-down vote on Levin-Reed, along with amendments that my

Republican colleagues also wish to consider."

How do you ask a man to be the last man to die for George Bush's

legacy?
