“They (Republicans) like this war. They want this war to continue. We thought that they shared the view of so many people in our country that we needed a new direction in Iraq. But the Republicans have made it very clear that this is not just George Bush’s war. This is the war of the Republicans in Congress. I shouldn’t say they like the war. They support the war, the course of action that the president is on. And that was a revelation to me, because I thought the American people’s voices were so — and still are — so strong in this regard.”
