TIME TO END IRAQ WAR -- (House of Representatives - October 26, 2005)

(Mr. McGOVERN asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)

Mr. McGOVERN. Mr. Speaker, today we mark another sad milestone in our involvement in Iraq with the announcement that 2,000 Americans have died.

It is time to end this war. This war was based on fiction: there were no weapons of mass destruction, no ties to al Qaeda, no imminent threat. We have spent hundreds of billions of dollars on this war. We are bankrupting our Nation.

Great nations, Mr. Speaker, sometimes make mistakes, as I believe we have done in this case. This war was a mistake. It is wrong; let us fix it. America can do better. Not one more dollar, not one more death.
