"The point is, is that we understand that the Iraqi people need help to defend themselves, to rebuild their country, and most importantly, to hold elections."

"A free Iraq is rising in the heart of that vital region."

"We stand together united in our support for the Iraqi people and the fully sovereign Iraqi Interim Government as they seek to rebuild their nation."

"The U.S. has taken the lead in the global fight against corruption."
