as i said i will offer an amendment along with mr. jones of north carolina and mr. smith, the ranking member of the armed services committee, to make it clear that if the president wants to continue the employment of u.s. forces beyond 2015 -- 2014, which was his stated policy last year, then we ought to vote on it. we ought to vote on it. if you believe we should stay longer, you can vote yes. if you believe that enough is enough, then you can vote no. but after all this time, after all this time we have an obligation in this congress to speak out and speak out and make sure that our constituents know what we are doing. we cannot allow this war to go on forever on autopilot. we have a responsibility here. and i have heard the arguments from my friends who want to stay. they have compelling arguments. make them on the house floor and after the next congress decide whether or not we should continue the war there. i close with this. when people say to me that there's no place to cut in the pentagon's budget, i would urge them to talk to some of the men and women who s
