But the thing we do know is whatever it costs to save and protect American lives in this conflict, we're going to spend.

Japan's inexplicable lack of response to even consider a move to re-open their market to U.S. beef will sorely tempt economic trade action against Japan.

People ought to have more control over their lives.
