February 21, 2007Because We Are a Great Democracy People Have Their Views and They’re Going to Express Them
Condi Rice spoke to the troops in Baghdad last week and expressed a sentiment dear to my heart and principles. She said;
- A lot’s going on in Washington and … you’re hearing it. A lot’s going on because we are a great democracy. And people have their views and they’re going to express them. And some do not think that this was the right war to fight, and others think that we in the Administration haven’t fought this war quite right. By the way, all of them know that the sacrifice and the labor of our men and women here has been honorable.
- And so when you hear the criticism of the war or the criticism of the President or of me or of anybody else, I do want you to know that to a person at home, your honor and your sacrifice and your labor is appreciated. People know what you’re doing and it’s appreciated across the board. I don’t care what people think of the policies; it’s appreciated across the board.

Ms. Rice is correct. Of course, we appreciate what the members of our armed forces are doing for us. Supporting the troops and supporting the war are two different things. I will ALWAYS support the troops.
