                                  IRAQ

  Mr. INHOFE. Mr. President, first, I associate myself much with the 
remarks of Senator McConnell. Serving on the Senate Armed Services 
Committee and having been in that theater more than any other Member 
from the very beginning, it is so obvious to see what the cost of 
defeat would be. When you look at Iran and Ahmadinejad saying that if 
the Americans cut and run, ``there will be a void and we will fill that 
void,'' it would be a disaster for freedom and that would bring the 
fight from over there over to our soil. We cannot let that happen.
