"The Administration wants more money
"Democrats are demanding Iraqi's be held accountable for Iraq's future
"The Administration's policy has us policing a civil war
"Democrats want to focus on Al-Qaeda and the growing threat in Afghanistan
" The Administration has failed veterans on the health care they have earned
