| "I don't think any United States Senator is going to abandon our troops and recklessly leave Iraq to whatever follows as a result of simply cutting and running. That's irresponsible." -September 14, 2003 on NBC's 'Face The Nation', after being questioned if he would support the $87 billion worth of support to troops in Iraq that he would shortly later vote against.

| "Thank you for contacting me to express your opposition to the early use of military force by the US against Iraq. I share your concerns. On Januarry 11, I voted in favor of a resolution that would have insisted that economic sanctions be given more time to work and against a resolution giving the President the immediate authority to go to war." -A letter to the Wallace Center, January 22, 1991 "Thank you very much for contacting me to express your support for the actions of President Bush in response to the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait. From the outset of the invasion, I have strongly and unquivocally supported President Bush's response to the crisis and the policy goals he has established with our military deployment in the Persian Gulf." -A letter to the Wallace Center, January 31, 1991 |
