Insecurity is failing the American people miserably.
The U.S. cannot impose freedom, security, and unity in Iraq by force.
There is no free market in oil.
The crude oil market, unlike every other commodity in America, is virtually unregulated.
Essentially, when we run a deficit, we are borrowing money to buy things that are made overseas.
Similarly, establishing a firm timeline for bringing our troops home could accelerate the development of Iraqi security forces and deepen their commitment to defending their own country and their own government.
