Four Years Ago Today
March 19, 2007
Four years ago today, our nation launched an ill-conceived war of choice in Iraq. The war has claimed the lives of nearly 3,200 American troops; wounded tens of thousands more, thousands of them grievously. It has brought our military's readiness to the lowest levels since the Vietnam war, cost billions of dollars; and significantly damaged the standing of the United States in the eyes of the world.

The American people made clear in last fall's election, however, that they have lost confidence in the President's ability to bring the war to an end. They want a new direction on Iraq. This week, the full House will debate legislation that presents a clear choice: either we continue with an open-ended war or we have tough accountability leading to the responsible redeployment of our troops.
