Ros-Lehtinen up and mentioning that she is glad to hear that Maddy is against cutting funding .. then mentions her son and daughter who served over there

Then she mentions how Maddy once supported a troops surge and wanted to know why she chanced her mind

She also asked Maddy what she thinks would happen in Iraq if we withdrew from Iraq

Wants Maddy to give her recommendations of what bench marks she would give

Lantos butts in to remind members that each member is allotted 5 minutes .. not 5 minutes to ask a question

Ros-Lehtinen asks Lantos how much time did he take for his opening statement

Ros-Lehtinen says she is surprised that he would rudely cut her off like that

Ackman (sp?) chimes in and says .. welcome to the minority party

Ros-Lehtinen says .. Hyde never treated the other side this poorly

Maddy says we shouldn't be a cheer leader for PM of Iraq

Durbin up talking about how NOW that dems are in charge, finally there isn't a do nothing Senate...that will work in a bipartisan way to "deal with Iraq".
