Domenici quote

GOP Defections on Iraq: Who's Next? - The Huffington Post

"'I have carefully studied the Iraq situation [translation: I know I should have been following this thing more closely all along, but I finally got around to taking a serious look] and believe we cannot continue asking our troops to sacrifice indefinitely while the Iraqi government is not making measurable progress to move its country forward [translation: it's not our fault that the Iraqi government isn't getting its act together. Our strategy was fine, it is that Iraqi government that isn't coming through on its end of the bargain],' Domenici told reporters from New Mexico this week."

[translation: my term expires next year]
