“ Clearly, we cannot precipitously abandon the people of Iraq or our own national interests in having a stable Iraq. So we need to look for a process which is going to allow us to proceed in an orderly way and in a way which, hopefully, can start to bring our own nation together as we try to address this most difficult issue. ”

“ I look forward to it being a template upon which we build a broader coalition which I hope will be bipartisan, which I hope can settle out a little the differences which have so divided our nation and which will give not only the Iraqi people the opportunity to have surviving a stable government, but give ourselves the direction we need to assure our safety as we move forward in this very perilous time confronting terrorists who wish to do us harm. ”

“ The step which is being proposed by the Senator from Colorado and the Senator from Tennessee and is supported by the Senator from Pennsylvania and the Senator from Arkansas, myself, and the Senator from Utah, is an effort to set out a blueprint or a path which we can hopefully follow in a bipartisan way as we proceed down this road. ”
