Quote

Victory is the only option. And we will be victorious in Iraq.

There is no winner or loser - just one family, the U.M.P. The time for internal squabbles is behind us.

Thanks to the heroic sons and daughters of this country, who have paid sacrifices, we have been able to score a number of victories which are encouraging the nation-building process we are engaged in.

When this sad war is over we will all return to our homes, and feel that we can ask no higher honor than the proud consciousness that we belonged to the Army of the Potomac.

All soldiers who serve their country and put their lives at risk need to know that if something happens to them, their families will be well taken care of. That's the bond we have with our military men and women and their families.

We fight a lot, you know, but that's family. We may be dysfunctional but we're still family.

We're living through a time where we are fighting wars fostered by politics, admittedly not on the same scale as the First World War, but with equally tragic realities for our soldiers and their families.

We know over very national survival is at stake; and we believe that we should support our troops, yes, and work for an outcome that results in victory.

I believe that everyone can appreciate the right of a family to grieve the loss of a loved one in peace, regardless of anyone's position on the war in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Victory has a hundred fathers but defeat is an orphan.
