Dale Groutage on War & Peace

Work toward a multi-nation solution in Iraq

I have supported our troops for 34 years as a senior scientist for the US Navy developing the hi-tech missiles and submarines, which they need to do their jobs, keep them safe, and protect our country. I will continue to support our troops and make sure they have whatever they need to fight for our freedom. The war in Iraq is a world problem, not just one of the US. I believe our nation must work toward a multi-nation solution that will not continuously increase our national debt. I believe Congress should quite bickering and move forward to solve this Iraq War problem. My approach is a solution that involves the nations of the world who have a stake in the outcome of this war. I believe the plan must be a congressional bipartisan approach focusing on bringing partner nations into the solution and moving to a point where the Iraqis assume responsibility to manage their country, financially and militarily, without a major U.S. presence.

Develop alliances to help control terrorism & costs in Iraq

The current administration has no plan on how to get US out of Iraq.
Increasing costs of the Iraq War and its impact on the overall defense budget and the national debt.
Mismanagement of the reconstruction of Iraq.

Develop alliances with those nations that would have the most impact to control terrorists.

A return to fiscal sanity where the people of the US are not paying for an unending flow of money from our country to Iraq.
