We have a quote over here. Victory means exit strategy, said Governor George Bush during Kosovo. Exit strategy. And here we are a couple of years into the war with no exit strategy. And if you ask for an exit strategy, you are helping out the other side. Well, wait a minute. We are spending $1.5 billion a week. We have lost well over 2,000 lives, thousands and thousands of soldiers have been injured. Do we not have a right in the Congress of the United States, the House of Representatives, to at least ask when are we leaving? Is it 4 months? Is it 6 months? Can we at least have a discussion on why we should not talk about it, or is it just my way or the highway? I mean, we have an obligation here to do that.
