"The ongoing strife in Iraq, and the billions of dollars that the President is seeking to continue that war, give me little comfort that this Administration has learned from its mistakes in Iraq"

This quote by Robert Byrd recommends that the existing Administration has actually not picked up from its mistakes in Iraq. The continuous strife in Iraq and the billions of bucks that the President is seeking to proceed the battle show that the Administration has not taken the needed steps to address the concerns that have actually caused the dispute. This recommends that the Administration has actually not made the effort to assess the mistakes that have been made in Iraq and has actually not taken the needed steps to prevent them from taking place again. This absence of action implies that the Administration has actually not put in the time to learn from its blunders as well as is rather remaining to put money into a problem that has not been fixed. This quote implies that the Administration has actually not taken the necessary steps to ensure that the errors of the past are not duplicated in the future.
