Every day that the Bush Administration continues its failed Iraq policy is another missed opportunity to hold the administration accountable and to begin bringing our troops home.

    The Bush / Sununu team has only offered more of the same in Iraq. There has been no progress on the ground and there is no end in sight.

    We need a clear timetable that holds the Bush administration accountable, that begins to bring our troops home now, and that attaches funding to progress on these fronts.  The legislation now before Congress does not accomplish these goals.

    In the U.S. Senate, I will vote to approve supplemental Iraq War funds only if George Bush and John Sununu show real progress towards getting our troops home safely and leaving Iraq's future where it has its greatest chance-in the hands of the Iraqi people.

    We need to begin bringing our troops home today-and we need to hold George Bush and John Sununu accountable to see that it happens.
