and so i asked him to tell me why he thought that i haven't kept the promise i made. south carolina had been given the opportunity to be the first to stay in the south to have a primary and i was asked during the process whether or not i could stay neutral in the campaign, because if i could not, they would not reword -- thebethey would not award the py to the state and so i had. i opened up a part of the book in a particular chapter where she asks me how did you vote in this primary? she never knew until he asked the question and quite frankly did she ask me the morning after the primary she didn't ask me how are you going to vote. she asked me how did you vote in this primary. first time she ever asked me that before. so, i think i kept my promise. but i can understand. it was a pretty emotional campaign. and certainly bill clinton and i have had many conversations since that one coming and i talk about it in the book where we happened to be sitting next to each other at the funeral. we chatted that they had many times since. we had breakfast with hillary clinton while she was the

i think the -- i'd like to have the senator from south carolina summarize. the cost of inaction of doing nothing is the greatest cost we can incur. the situation on the battlefield is not only terrible but the polarization of the different groups in iraq is growing worse by the hour. we are seeing the resurgence of the old shia militias that we had put -- that thanks to david petraeus we had put down before. iraq was largely under control thanks to david petraeus, ryan crocker and the surge in 2011. if we had left -- and it's a fact -- and if we had left that residual force behind, history would be very different. and i would add one other comment. we cannot ignore syria in this situation. we have to understand that syria is now part of this huge area the size of the state of indiana, which is governed by isis. from montana is recognized. mr. walsh: thank you, mr. president. i rise today not only as the senator from montana but as a veteran of the long and difficult war in iraq. like most americans, the increasing instability in iraq and the disintegration of
