MANCHESTER, N.H. -- Presidential candidate John Cox shared his views on the war in Iraq, health care and the future of the IRS with an audience of New Hampshire voters.

Cox answered questions in "Conversation with the Candidate," an ongoing series produced by WMUR-TV in New Hampshire in which the candidates for president discuss issues on the minds of voters.

The Illinois Republican said he supports the war in Iraq, but he wants to shift the focus of U.S. efforts there to building Iraq's economy.

"What I want to see happen is, I want to see us do a surge, a surge on the pipelines and pumping stations and get money out there and get it in the hands of the Iraq people, so they see some tangible benefit for having their own government," Cox said.
