Senator Barack Obama

"There is no military solution in Iraq and there never was. I will begin to remove our troops from Iraq immediately. I will remove one or two brigades a month and get all of our combat troops out of Iraq in sixteen months. The only troops I will keep in Iraq will perform the limited missions of protecting our diplomats and carrying out targeted strikes on Al Qaeda. And I will launch the diplomatic and humanitarian initiatives that are so badly needed. So, let there be no doubt - I will end this war.

"But it's also time to learn the lesson of Iraq. We're not going to defeat the threats of the 21st Century on a conventional battlefield. We cannot win a fight for the hearts and minds when we outsource critical missions to unaccountable contractors..."

The question is not what Bush is going to do. We know who he is. I watched him five years when he was governor, here. And now I've watched him six and a half years now in Washington, DC.

John Dean

Bush administration has governed worse than Watergate - says Richard Nixon's former counsel, John Dean.

The use of 9/11 as a punctuation point, as a defining moment for this presidency is true and untrue. What they've done is they have taken a very tragic event and used it for their maximum political advantage. What they've done with 9/11 is they've taken it and used it and done everything in their power to keep the "terror" in terrorism.
