Reid: Cheney's Current View Of Iraq War Echoes His Previous Mistaken Statements
Washington, DC—Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid made the following statement today in response to comments made by Vice President Cheney that the Iraq war has been a “successful endeavor” that is “well worth the effort”:
“The Vice President’s remarks today minimizing the costs and consequences of the Administration’s Iraq strategy are reminiscent of his comments five years ago that we would be greeted as liberators and his comments three years ago that the insurgency was in its last throes. It would be far better if the Vice President would explain how his Administration intends to use its final months to find Osama bin Laden and Al Qaeda’s senior leadership – neither of whom are in Iraq – as well as how it intends to win the war in Afghanistan and address our military’s readiness challenges that leave us unprepared for the next crisis.”

The Senate will convene at 9:30 a.m. Following any Leader remarks, the Senate will resume consideration of the House Message on H.R.1586. There will be 1 hour for debate equally divided and controlled between the two Leaders or their designees, with Senator Murray controlling the Majority time.
Upon the use or yielding back of time (around 10:40 a.m.), the Senate will proceed to a roll call vote on the motion to invoke cloture on the motion to concur in the House amendment to the Senate amendment to H.R. 1586, with Reid for Murray amendment #4575 (FMAP and Teacher Funding).
