"Fulfilling a campaign promise at the expense of American national security interests is, at best, strategic neglect and, at worst, downright irresponsible."

"Saying that Iraq is 'secure, stable, and self-reliant,' as Deputy National Security Advisor Denis McDonough recently did, does not make it so."

"It requires 'the willing suspension of disbelief' to believe that withdrawing our forces from Iraq... advances our strategic interests."

"Do the general permits improve the environment? Not at all."
