Dodd thinks that we will increase our safety if we just get out of Iraq. (Alice in Wonderland could not do better than that.)
Newt says it’s legislating defeat...which of course it is.
However, Newt is not comfortable with the current situation in Iraq and our limited use of statecraft (which worked so well with Iran and its nuclear program).
You could add North Korea to that sentiment, as well.
At least we have started to take a proactive step toward the country of Mexico, which is mostly inside our borders now. Too bad it's the wrong step.
