'we have a duty to question the war in Iraq.
We have 2 wars on now, in Afghanistan, which was the result of an attack on our country on Sept 11,2001.
The war in Iraq is George Bush's war. a war of pre emptive attack.'

i'm no steno, so this is as close as i will get, paraphrase/jist as it were.

Byrd is saying 'bring the troops home, no question about our support for them, but the am.people have questions about the $$ being spent for 'reconstruction' (he's seperating reconstruction and troops $$ for am. people's consciousness).


thanks for the heads up.
