We, as a party, didn't try to harm Israel in any way, and some of our members were instrumental in blocking Leahy. Note the source.

Iraq had nothing to do with 911, neither does Hamas, Hezbollah, Iran, or Syria. But judging from the rhetoric coming from our legislators and media, you wouldn't know that. As we approach Independence Day, pay heed to George Washington's parting words.
