I want to say that there's one solution here, and it's not to engage in a debate with the President, who has taken us down a path of disaster in Iraq, but it's for Congress to assume the full power that it has under the Constitution to cut off funds. We don't need to keep indulging in this debate about what to do, because as long as we keep temporizing, the situation gets worse in Iraq....

Well, you know, we must have a total review of spending. I mean, we’re seeing the amount of money that’s being wasted right now by this government in Iraq, the waste, fraud and abuse that takes place. We see the same thing throughout the Pentagon budget. We stand strong for those who serve our country. But let’s face it, the system is being gamed by people who are in the defense contracting industry who create newer generations of weapons, when we haven’t even seen the utility of the first generation.

We have to take a whole new approach. We’re spending over $400 billion a year, money that's also needed for healthcare, for education, for job creation, for seniors. We have to take a new look at this. We need to be a strong country, but strength isn't only military. Strength is also the economic strength of the people, their chance to have good neighborhoods. We spend more money than all the countries of the world put together for the military.
