Mitch McConnellI have never been more proud to say I am from Kentucky than yesterday when I heard, on
The Hugh Hewitt Show, Senator Mitch McConnell's (R-Ky) comments on the Senate floor regarding S.J. Res 9, which would have set a timetable for troop withdrawal of troops from Iraq. He effectively pointed out the gross inconsistencies of Senators Durbin and Clinton positions on this matter.
A link to the Senator McConnell's comments located on the Congressional Transcript is
here. McConnell's address starts at the bottom right of page S3184 and concludes on S3185. It takes a bit of time to load. It is worth the wait.
Thankfully the legislation was soundly defeated, gaining only 48 of the necessary 60 votes..
