UDALL REACTS TO PRESIDENT'S SPEECH ON IRAQ
Washington, DC-- Congressman Mark Udall (D-Eldorado Springs), a member of the House Armed Services Committee, released the following statement in reaction to President Bush's speech tonight:
"No American, even critics of the Bush Administration, can justify rooting for failure in Iraq. As one who opposed the war from the start, I am hopeful that the Iraqi elections will provide momentum for greater international support and a political process that will enable us to implement a carefully staged withdrawal of military forces. There is an opening here to make 2006 a year of transition in Iraq if the administration is willing to listen to criticism and seek bipartisan unity at home."
