The Senate’s Iraq Debate
May 16, 2007, 9:24pm
Susan Collins, R-Maine: “If [the Iraqis] are not making progress in meeting the benchmarks, then I think we should not release the reconstruction funds. This would have definite consequences, and I think it’s appropriate that we link it to reconstruction funds.”
Christopher Dodd, D-Conn.: President Bush “can’t ignore what I’m proposing. He’s going to have to sign it or veto it. … We need to have a real vote, a binding effort here, and that’s what I’m determined to try to get in the Foreign Relations Committee.”
