Brett McGurk: “the complete withdrawal of U.S. forces from Iraq is the right policy at this time.”

The real weapon against ISIS and their ilk comes not just from the barrel of a gun but from the ballot box, the schoolhouse, the courts, and a growing economy.

We believe very strongly we have to have a political transition process that can lead to a sustainable transition inside Syria.

If confirmed, I will do everything in my power, drawing on all the tools of our foreign policy, to build a lasting partnership with Iraq that is worthy of their memory and sacrifice.

We are committed to getting Edan out as early as possible.
