She believes that our troops, along with their families, have sacrificed so much and have performed magnificently in implementing the mission they were given in Iraq. They deserve to be honored accordingly." http://www.rosadelauro.com/record/ (www.rosadelauro.com) "Rosa did not support the authorization to use force in Iraq and has consistently called for a phased, responsible redeployment out of the country.
