This is also an action we refuse to do within our borders.

Pay attention here. Democracy there is the only hope. Focus. THE OIL IS RUNNING OUT. And every drop China's explosive growth consumes is one less drop for US GDP growth to use. Take a look at GDP growth charts and oil consumption for the 20th century. They Track Precisely.

If you want your economy to grow, you must burn oil. Iraq has a lot of it and We Are Not Leaving. We will turn sovereignty over to the Iraqi's but we will not be pulling all troops out. We will have the Iraqis patrol their own territory but we will not be pulling out. We can enforce many edicts from the air, but the oil cannot be given to the Shiite extremists.

The die is cast, people. There is no closing your eyes and pretending that all we need to do is drill in ANWR and we have all the oil we need. It Is Running Out. We've got 35 years or so. It's either us who gets those 35 years or someone else. Who do you want it to be?

There is no real choice here. Victory is the only alternative because this entire century depends on what happens there.
