"And the United States wants to help."

"I will lay out a vision for future involvement in Iraq—one that I believe the American people and their elected leaders of both parties can support."

"Success in Anbar is critical to the democratic future of Iraq and to the war on terror."

"It's important that we show resolve and determination to protect ourselves, to deny Al Qaida safe haven, and to support young democracies."
