"Such cost increases would threaten our efforts against terrorism or force deep cuts in discretionary spending or Federal employment to stay within budget."

"We agreed that defeating Al Qaeda and the terrorists is vital to ensuring the success of Iraq's democracy."

"The biggest loser for a free society is the Iraqi citizen, when this society was just liberated from the grips of a brutal tyrant."
