Just like the war zone over in Iraq today, I just feel like I can't walk out.

Now is the time for resolve, not retreat. Turning our backs on post-war Iraq today would be the modern equivalent of handing post-war Germany back to the Nazis.

If he voted today, he clearly would never vote for Republicans. He wouldn't support the war in Iraq. He would say this administration didn't have a plan. He would say they have broken international laws and they have now been spying on Americans. Paine would have been outraged that they had been acting in a way which would threaten American freedom.

There will be nothing positive driving the markets today. A war with Iraq is getting closer, making investors nervous, after the United States and UK stepped up their efforts for a new resolution.

The Iraq war was not necessary.

One of the hardest parts of my job is to connect Iraq to the war on terror.
