George Bush actually said...

The ultimate victory in Iraq...depends upon the Iraqi citizens and the Iraqi Government doing the hard work necessary to protect their count...

If I did not think our mission in Iraq was vital to America's security, I'd bring our troops home tomorrow.

I do not want to leave before we achieve victory.

Defeat will only come if the United States becomes isolationist and refuses...to help those who desire to live in a moderate, peaceful world...
