Tom Price: “Where is your strategy? If you succeed with your policy of ending the funding for the troops and ending our involvement…”

“Where is your strategy? If you succeed with your policy of ending the funding for the troops and ending our involvement in Iraq, what next? What happens then? There are some very good scholarly individuals who have looked at this, and they have said what they believe will happen next. In fact, the chart that I have here shows what the National Intelligence Estimate, the NIE, says will happen if we fail in Iraq. That is important because that group, the National Intelligence Estimate, is the group that our good friends cite all of the time, incorrectly, I might add oftentimes, but they cite them as the source for information about what ought to be done in Iraq. But what the National Intelligence Estimate has said that the consequences of failure in Iraq would be: 'Coalition capabilities, including force levels, resources, and operations remain an essential, stabilizing element in Iraq.' Essential stabilizing element in Iraq.”
