"The security of the civilized world depends on victory in the war on terror, and that depends on victory in Iraq, so America will not leave until victory is achieved."
"If America were to pull out before Iraq can defend itself, the consequences would be disastrous."
"The path to victory will be uphill and uneven, and it will require more patience and sacrifice from our Nation."
"A vital part of our strategy to defeat the terrorists is to help establish a democratic Iraq."
