For Our Daughters And Our Granddaughters Now,

I Don't Reject The Concept Of Preemptive War. I'm A Mother Of Five. I Have Five Grandchildren. And I Always Say: Think Of A Lioness. Think Of A Mother Bear. You Come Anywhere Near Our Cubs, You're Dead. And So, In Terms Of Any Threat To Our Country, People Have To Know We'll Be There To Preemptively Strike. But What The President [bush] Did Was, On The Basis Of No Real Intelligence For An Imminent Threat To Our Country, Chose To Go Into A War For Reasons That Are Still Unknown To Us.

What We're Discussing Privately And Publicly, Is A Budget Which Is A Blueprint For The Future Which Creates Jobs, Which Educates Our Children, Which Provides Healthcare For All Americans, Which Takes Our Deficit Down, Which Gives A Tax Cut For 95% Of The American People.

I Have Deep Emotions About The American People. If I Were To Cry For Anything, I Would Cry For Them And The Policies That They're About To Face.

I Believe That The President's (bush) Leadership In The Actions Taken In Iraq Demonstrate An Incompetence In Terms Of Knowledge, Judgment And Experience In Making The Decisions That Would Have Been Necessary To Truly Accomplish The Mission Without The Deaths To Our Troops And The Cost To Our Taxpayers.

I Have Newspapers Coming To Me And Saying, 'can We Get In On The Tarp?'.
