Presidential candidates talk about 9/11« Thread Started on Sept 13, 2007, 6:52am » --------------------------------------------------------------------------------Presidential candidates talk about 9/11Edited by: Phil BermanEmail: berman@kjrh.comLast Update: 9/11 5:52 pm read at source> http://www.kjrh.com/content/news/decisi ... 5f76f589As the nation looked back six years ago to the terrorist attacks of 9/11, General Petraeus continued with his testimony on capitol hill. This time, he faced a tougher response from Senators also in their roles as Presidential Candidates. The general faced the Foreign Relations Panel chaired by Senator and Democratic Presidential Candidate Joe Biden.Senator Biden said, "The American people will not support an infinite war whose sole remaining purpose is to prevent the situation in Iraq from becoming worse than it is today. It is time to turn the corner in my view, gentlemen. We should stop the surge and start bringing our troops home." Fellow candidate Barack Obama was also heavier on critical commentary than questions.Obama said, "This continues to be a disastrous foreign policy mistake and we are now confronted with the question how do we clean up the mess and make the best out of the situation in which there are no good options. There are bad options and worse options."
