“We do not swear to the Iraqi Constitution. We do not come here to represent the Iraqi people. First and foremost it is the United States. So you are telling me that we are giving money to the Iraqis, grant money; but if we have a natural disaster in the United States, we ask the American citizens to fill out a form so they can maybe get a loan. And if an American citizen wants to go to college, they got to take out a loan. So we are loaning money to the American people so our kids end up with $17,500 in college debts because we loan them the money; but when it comes to Iraq, we have created a welfare state.”
