We could send a million troops and that will not restore legitimacy to the government; do you agree with that?
I am crying out for our country to realize that if we capture somebody in this war on terror, no matter how vicious the enemy may be, it becomes about us, not them.
The point is, whatever relationship we have with Iraq is yet to be determined, I think that's a fair answer.
