U.S. Senator Rick Santorum (R-PA), Chairman of the Senate Republican Conference, today issued the following statement regarding President Bush's December 18th speech and December 19th press conference:
"I am pleased with the President’s recent efforts to convey the story of success that is being written in Iraq.
Widespread elections with high participation and few acts of violence prove that the Iraqi people are moving toward a new,
brighter future that’s been hard-fought by the people of Iraq with the assistance of American and Coalition forces.
"We are fighting an elusive enemy, but as a testament to our vigilance and preparedness, we have not seen another
attack on our homeland since September 11, 2001. The President has been clear, we will stay the course in Iraq to send a message
to those who seek to destroy democracy and hurt innocent people. We are a country of resolve and determination and we cannot
waiver in our mission to secure democracy in Iraq; it is essential to safeguarding democracy and peace around the world."
