"We concluded that to step back now would force a collapse of the Iraqi government, tear that country apart, and result in mass killings on an unimaginable scale."

"Only Iraqis can end the sectarian violence and secure their people."

"Their solution is to scale back America's efforts in Baghdad or announce the phased withdrawal of our combat forces."
