It will endanger our country to pull out of Iraq before we accomplish the mission.

It's the right thing to get rid of Saddam Hussein. The al Qaeda is real. Also, to understand the stakes of this war.

The fate and future of Iraq is in their hands. And our job is to help them succeed, and we will.

I've come to not only look you in the eye, I've also come to tell you that when America gives its word, it will keep its word.
