what do you say to people like john mccain and lindsey graham, who suggest that by taking troops out now, we are snatching defeat from the jaws of victory, charles? >> the better argument is the one you get from watching peteae -- petraeus and mike mullen, who said between the lines that this was done over their recommendation, the president has chosen increases the risk to our troops -- the current strategy the president has chosen increases the risk to our troops. if president obama is insincere, why did he order an escalation of the 30,000 troops, some of whom have not returned, a casualty rate higher than at any time during the afghan war, if he was not going to complete his own strategy and pick a withdrawal date was only logic is to help him in reelection? it makes no sense militarily. >> mark? >> general petraeus added to what he said there that military leaders make recommendations, but the commander in chief as the wider responsibility than just the military, specific military advice he gets. that is true of all presidents, and i, and at general petraeus for emphasizing that

here is what lindsey graham sbas that. from the party's point of view, the biggest disaster would be to let barack obama become ronald reagan and our people become jimmy carter. senator graham thinks the republicans will look soft and weak here. >> i think the interesting thing is since 2008 a lot of candidates are actually coming the way of ron paul. michele bachmann also said on television that we shouldn't go to war in libya without congressional authority. haley barbour talked about the troops coming home from afghanistan. there may be varying degrees but many republicans are having questions now. >> are john mccain and lindsey graham, are they wrong, out of the mainstream? >> i think we have a difference of opinion. the republican party, there are some who believe that the president should have unlimited or inherent powers to commit war and then there are those of white house think the president should be restrained by the constitution that congress should declare war as intended. this just a difference of opinion. bu

it is obvious from lindsey's piece that the spending reductions we're talking about are not enough in order to achieve the result we have to to avoid the interest rate increases he predicts. madam president, i hope my colleagues will think again. they sort -- the sort of ideological commitment they have to raising taxes. in the context of today's issue, that shouldn't be part of our discussion. that will only hurt the economy, inhibit job creation and economic growth and delay the day when we begin to recover from this economic downturn. instead we need to focus on the kind of spending reductions that were embodied in the budget that the house of representatives passed, and those of us on this side of the aisle have been trying to put forward as a condition for increasing the debt ceiling. madam president, i note the absence of a quorum. the presiding officer: the clerk will call the roll. mr. kyl: may i ask first unanimous consent to insert in the record the "wall street journal" op-ed by lawrence lindsey. the presiding officer: without objection. mr. kyl: thank you. quorum call: mr.
