Your (still somewhat) Austin Representative, on the president’s plan unveiled earlier this week:

“President Bush has been wrong at every step along the descent into chaos in Iraq, and he is wrong once again. The terrible price for his repeated miscalculations is paid for by the blood of the brave, by hundreds of billions of dollars squandered, and by greater insecurity for our families. He has no new plan; just an old delusion.”
