I appreciate you recognize the fact that the future of your country is in your hands.

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

the enemy is trying to break the will of the American people and the goal of this summit is to remind Americans the sacrifice is worth it.

This is a process of getting to know the -- understand the Iraqi capabilities, particularly the command-and-control structure, and what our needs -- what we need to do to help them achieve victory.

I fully recognize it's not going to end the war.

Success in Iraq will depend upon the capacity of the new government to provide for its people. We recognize our responsibilities to help that new government.

We can expect the terrorists and insurgents to carry on without him.

Zarqawi's death is a severe blow to al Qaeda. It's a victory in the global war on terror.

We have tough days ahead of us in Iraq. That will require the continued patience of the American people.

Now Zarqawi has met his end, and this violent man will never murder again.
