David Gergen actually said...

Most Americans think it is not. But I think we are better off than we were, say, three or four years ago, before Chet (ph) Crocker went there and we got a new strategy, we got the surge. I think this is a milestone tonight and that, John, a lot of military families and their parents are extremely pleased that we're not sending more troops there to fight. And I think the president deserves, you know, a salute for saying we're going to get out of there, and he has now done that.

Context

Gergen reflects on public opinion regarding the Iraq war and praises the president for the troop withdrawal.
