A peaceful, responsible Iraq could have an enormous effect in that part of the world.

I urge, as strongly as I can, that as soon as possible, 2 weeks, not 2 years, that you put forth, under the auspices of the Ambassador and the leader of the Iraqi provisional government, the plan.

It would be a beautiful day if the three of you, two Generals and you, stood up and said, 'Well, we want the American people now to see the plan.'

Believe me, believe me, believe me, the public does not believe there's a plan because you can't sell what you've got.

I submit it's your responsibility and the President's, if you want to win, to make sure the American people understand, from you all, that we're winning this.

I think it has things in it that aren't true, it has accusations in it that are invalid.

The Iraqi view of the job being done by Ambassador Bremer are remarkably positive.

Your statement is a superb statement. As a matter of fact, the more I think about it, the more I perceive it to be a brilliant analysis of the current situation.

I suggest you produce documents for presentation to the public, on a regular basis, not more than five or six general how--governance, democratization, and capitalism.

I believe we're doing a tremendous job.

We can pull out. And I would say, for anybody who wants to make that recommendation, make it.

I believe the single-most important question asked of their Representatives and Senators by our people is, 'Well, I'm for him, but what's the plan?'
