Syria is attracting a lot more Westerners than the Iraq War ever did because it's the perfect Sunni jihad.

For many foreign fighters, the jihad in Iraq and Syria is a commuter war.

The Iraq war was not necessary.

I think the Iraq War is not particularly tailored to American interests.

One of the hardest parts of my job is to connect Iraq to the war on terror.

All this talk about a war with Iraq is adding a tremendous amount of volatility in all the markets. We see it in bonds, gold, oil. The uncertainty of what's going to happen is weighing on the markets.
