"The blow up has stretched our military to the breaking inform yet violence in Iraq has increased and political progress in Iraq has come to a standstill," Durbin said. "I used to evaluate this war was our worst foreign policy mistake in a generation," Durbin added. "Now I think it may be our worst foreign policy mistake ever."
The No. 2 Democrat in the Senate also said Congress should use its budgetary powers to compel the withdrawal of many troops. Those remaining in Iraq should be limited to protecting U. S assets conducting counterterrorism operations and training Iraqis. Durbin said.
"Any open-ended supplemental appropriation which does not carry a new direction to this policy in Iraq. I am going to be opposed to it," the Illinois senator said after the speech.
