Senator Klobuchar Statement on President Bush's Speech

U.S. Senator Amy Klobuchar tonight released the following statement in reaction to President Bush's speech on Iraq:

"With this speech, President Bush continues to take his failed Iraq policy in the wrong direction. Sending even more American troops is not the change of course that the American people want, or that our military forces deserve, or that Iraq needs to halt its civil war. A number of the President's fellow Republicans in Congress also believe he's not taking the right approach.

"As of Thanksgiving, this war has lasted longer than World War II. And after nearly four years of intensive military involvement in Iraq, including more than 3,000 American deaths, the President should be focused on reducing our troop presence in Iraq instead of putting even more American servicemen and women in harm's way."
