This mistake could lead the way to a resurgence in terrorist activity and enable a complete Iranian takeover of Iraq, just as happened with President Obama\u2019s withdrawal in 2011,\u201d Senator Wicker said. \u201cThe decision \u2013 which comes after repeated, unabating, and lethal attacks on our servicemembers \u2013 is nothing short of American retreat, and it is a disservice to the thousands of U.S. soldiers who fought and died defending American interests.\u201d", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-07T21:43:57Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://www.wicker.senate.gov/2024/9/senator-wicker-statement-on-biden-harris-administration-troop-withdrawals-from-iraq"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.7688319310545921, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
