As of today. more than 3.200 soldiers have died in this war. The civilian death toll is astonishing. with estimates now running as high as 1 million Iraqi men. women. and children killed as a direct or indirect result of the conflict and the chaos it has unleashed. Millions more have been dislocated. driven out of their homes and into refugee camps. It is long past time for this institution to join with our soldiers and with the people of Iraq in seeing this war for what it really is. The legislation before us today represents the first real chance Democrats have had since 2003 to change the course of the war in Iraq.
