He's misstated my position. It's been clear that the stunning incompetence of this administration has let down our troops in Iraq. The administration has failed to properly plan while our troops have gone above and beyond the call of duty.
Joe Donnelly
I didn't practice for one month and a half and I played three matches in a row and today I felt really, really tired on the court. I couldn't move properly and I couldn't find my game. My timing was not there. So it's really difficult to play against any player.
