AZ Senate Debate: on War & Peace

John McCain: The War on Terror is the overriding and transcendent issue

This nation faces a severe crisis. We are fighting a war on terror. That is the overriding, transcendent issue in this campaign. We found out on 9/11, much to our dismay, that we are not safe. Bush is most qualified to lead us in that fight. I want to help him in that effort. Source: AZ Senate Debate, in Tucson Citizen

Stuart Starky: Work on policy to bring our children home

The most important thing we can do before we send a soldier to war is tell them that they are going for the right reason and they are told the truth. I disagree with the reason why our soldiers are dying every day in Iraq. I want you to know the first thing I will do as a US senator is to stand on the floor of the Senate and work on policy to bring our children home. Source: AZ Senate Debate, in Tucson Citizen
