I am confident that the President's decision to deploy 30,000 additional U.S. forces... will give the commander on the ground the tools necessary.
The direction you get from a President in a situation like that is 'Do everything you can.' It's all the guidance that you need.
I have said many times that I believe the single biggest threat to our national security is our debt.
