“I think that we need to set in law a sense of when our commitment is going to end there. The only way we will finally complete the training of our military and our Armed Forces within the Iraqi community is to give them a sense of when they will have to stand up for themselves. Now, at the same time, there is no perfect option. In fact, there may be no good option here. We all have to admit at some level, Republicans and Democrats, that we have gotten ourselves into a mess here that there is no pretty way out of. And that is part of what government hasn't been pretty good about talking about. This administration, it is all about black and white to them. It is good or evil. It is right or wrong. There is a lot of gray, and we created most of that gray by being the bull in the china shop there. But what we put forward today... is not the perfect, and it is probably not even the good, but it is the best that we can do in a very bad situation.”
