Troop levels will be decided by our commanders on the ground, not by political figures in Washington, DC.
We believe that a stable, peaceful Iraq where they can be an ally on the war on terror is our goal, not a home base for al Qaeda.
The purpose is to share experiences and discuss effective ways to deliver aid and build the institutions necessary for strong civil society.
We want to help people realize their full potential.
