「政体の変更が役人米国に似合ったときにイラクの職業は前に今日5年の始まったが、戦争への行進が前に下のBill Clinton 10年の始まったことを少数は意識する。 方針。 1998年のそれに取りの`で警告するために、私はイラクの解放の行為の抗議の家の床に私は見本質的に事実上戦争の宣言であるとしてこの立法を。 それは与えている大統領に主権国家に対して戦争の努力を追求する途方もない力を」。 私の警告は主としてその時に退去したが、後で5年、私達は爆撃イラクだった。

「5年間の職業後に、反射のためのよい時間は今日ある。 The cost to America has been great: 4,000 soldiers are dead, 30,000 have been severely wounded, and over 100,000 have applied for disability. In addition, the war has put a tremendous strain on our economy. As we spiral toward recession and experience an assault on our dollar, we spend $12 billion per month financing our Iraqi operations. The war has cost us nearly $1 trillion dollars, or over $3,300 per American man, woman, and child.

“In a recent presidential debate, I was asked whether the war was ‘worth it.’ I said, and still say, ‘absolutely not.’ In addition to the tremendous costs to America, the war has been helpful to our enemies. The war has strengthened Osama bin Laden, Al Qaeda, and Iran. And yet the other presidential candidates want to keep troops there for at least five more years. One even says we should keep American troops in Iraq for 100 years.

“As I have repeatedly said when discussing United States policy in Iraq, when you find yourself going the wrong way down a one-way street, you need to look for the nearest off-ramp. The only solution to the mess in Iraq is to promptly bring our troops home. Our bad policy spans at least ten years and two presidents and has had severe costs in lives and economic consequences. Continuing down the same road will solve nothing and compound our already substantial problems.”
