Democrats, on the Senate floor, in full support of our troops:
Sen.
Pat Geary Harry Reid: No one over here endorses the ad that was in that newspaper. None of us do. But we want to talk about the war. They want to talk about an ad in a newspaper. None of us, in any way, criticized General Petraeus.
Sen. Dick ButDurbin: They want to talk about ads in newspapers about General Petraeus. Well, let me tell you something, I respect General Petraeus,
but we have more important things to do than debate ads in newspapers.
