Congress and War

Let's play name that quote! Who said the following and when:

Dates certain, Mr. President, are not the criteria here. What is the criteria and what should be the criteria is our immediate, orderly withdrawal from [name of country]. And if we do not do that and other Americans die, other Americans are wounded, other Americans are captured because we stay too long--longer than necessary--then I would say that the responsibilities for that lie with the Congress of the United States who did not exercise their authority under the Constitution of the United States and mandate that they be brought home quickly and safely as possible. . . . [emphasis mine]

I'll give you a hint. This and many other fascinating views on the power of the Executive Branch in wartime can be found here. Have fun!
