He drew a short round of applause from the twelve Republicans in the room when he said that the campus anti-war networks will not succeed in their goal to end the war.
He says he's finishing up now, and that he wants to end with a few comments on the Iraq war.
He's talking about how how he thinks that people on the left before the war wanted to prevent the overthrow Sadaam Hussein. I don't think that's really a far characterization of what I was opposed to before we went to war in 2003. I walked on Bascom Hill as a sophomore in high school with 250 of my classmates at West High School. We joined UW-Students and people from all over Madison in a protest against the spending of billions of dollars on a war that had nothing to do with the terrorists who attacked our country on September 11th. There are so many other ways we could have spent the $500+ billion that we have spent in Iraq today, but all of that cost pales in comparison to the cost of lives that have been lost, both those of Americans and our allies and those of Iraqis.
"We need to win the War in Iraq in order to avoid a World War that will be much more costly."
The end. Time for question and answer.
