A couple of points you make are so important for this discussion. One is about the quality and nature of our enemy. It is unlike any enemy we have ever faced because it is not an enemy who is attaining ground or territory. This is an enemy that hates us because of who we are, what we are, and what kind of government we have. They clearly have stated that democracy is their enemy. It is not a territory. And you mentioned about the troops being behind our actions virtually 100 percent. I was so heartened to see the President in Baghdad earlier today in the tape we saw and the welcome he received from our U.S. troops. It was just incredibly moving to see our President visit our troops there and to visit the new government in Iraq. I yield back.
