2008 GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney reacted sharply Friday to the "no" votes by Democratic senators Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama on funding for U.S. troops in Iraq.
Romney blasted the Democratic senators and White House hopefuls for an "inexperienced worldview" that threatens U.S. national security.
Following is Romney's official statement on the Iraq War spending bill:
"At a time when the men and women of our military fighting terrorism around the globe needed them most, Senators Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama cast a vote that singularly defines their lack of leadership and serves as a glaring example of an unrealistic and inexperienced worldview on national security that is regrettably shared by too many of their fellow Capitol Hill Democrats.

"Voting against our troops during a time of war shows the American people that the leaders of the Democrat Party will abandon principle in favor of political positioning.
"Their votes render them undependable in the eyes of the men and women of the United States military and the American people."
