think it's important to point out that even though the bush administration made the agreement, condoleezza rice, former secretary of state, said, we had always envisioned a residual force, i always envisioned a residual force because of the areas of intelligence, the area of protect of airspace, the contested areas in northern iraq and iraq/kurdistan border. there was every military commander, everyone, recommended we have 20,000 troops remain behind in order to help with the stability and the security of iraq. and the president campaigned saying he was going to withdraw all of the troops. he did that. and i think it places the whole situation in great risk of a disintegrating situation, and i hope and pray that i am wrong. >> senator, i'm in sioux city tonight to watch something unfold that you have a great bit of experience at, a debate between the republican presidential candidates. iowa votes in 19 days. a consequential debate, last one before iowa votes. one of the men who ran against you last time, you vanquished him, rudy giuliani, he looks at the race now, he sees newt gingrich and mitt
