Maliki stated his hope that U.S. combat forces could be out of Iraq in 2010.

We’ve got to have a clear strategic vision that uses all of our power, our economic power, our diplomatic power, our intellectual power as well as our military power to help make this world safer.

Iraqis want an aspirational time table with a clear date for the redeployment of American combat troops.

For at least a year now, I have called for two additional brigades, perhaps three.

But military alone is not going to be enough.

I want to execute as president is giving the world a clear message that America intends to continue to show leadership.

This is where they can plan attacks.

Well, I think that we would like to see the Pakistani government take out those training camps.

I think there would be enormous symbolic value in us capturing or killing bin Laden.

I think it's very important that we unify command more effectively to coordinate our military activities.

I think one of the biggest mistakes we've made strategically after 9/11 was to fail to finish the job here.
