Based on the information available at the time of the invasion of Iraq, it was not justified.

I voted against giving President Bush the authority to send our troops into Iraq because I was not convinced that Saddam Hussein presented an imminent or direct threat to the United States.

The U.S. should set a timetable to withdraw troops from Iraq.

To that end, I voted against President Bush’s troop surge last year and also voted to put a timeframe for troop withdrawal in place.

Expanded ethanol production will have a positive effect on the economy.
