Nor should the U.S. military be forced to remain in Iraq essentially as an army for one side of a civil war.

Even the majority of the Sunnis have grown tired of foreign terrorists operating in Iraq.

Essentially, when we run a deficit, we are borrowing money to buy things that are made overseas.

In crude oil trading, we have seen a 46 percent increase over 1 year in the margins there.

The U.S. cannot impose freedom, security, and unity in Iraq by force.

It was Osama bin Laden and al-Qaeda who attacked the U.S. on September 11, 2001, not Saddam Hussein and Iraq.

To the contrary, I believe the U.S. military has already done all that has been asked of them. Saddam Hussein is on trial. The threat from alleged weapons of mass destruction programs in Iraq has been neutralized.
