Raul Acosta on War & Peace

Iraq war was wrong; pull out ASAP

Q: Your views on Iraq?

A: I agreed with the Pope that going to war was wrong, and we are seeing the outcome of that. But what to do about it now? I am proposing that we pull out once the country is stable & the new government can protect its borders.

Iraqi oil to US to pay for war costs, with Iraqi approval

Q: Your views on Iraq?

A: I am proposing that 66% of oil sales comes back to the U.S. to offset the cost of the war, but only if the Iraq government agrees.
