==//"We must strengthen our military by increasing the size of our military by 100,000 troops and dedicating at least four percent of our gross domestic product to defense. We must transform our domestic civilian international efforts to meet a new generation of global challenges and ensure that our intelligence and law enforcement efforts are able to address threats before they reach our shores."//==

Romney supports President Bush's policy in Iraq. He also agrees with his January 2007 decision to increase the number of troops we have in Iraq. He has criticized the planning and management of the Iraq conflict, but says keeping the U.S. in Iraq is the best option. He thinks this is the best decision because it will secure the country. It will also minimize casualties and maintain a democratic government there. His plan is to basically strengthen our military by adding 100,000 troops.
