Our enemies are brutal, but they are no match for the United States of America.
Additional assistance to Iraq, together with diplomacy and defense, is essential to Iraq's democratic transition.
The only way our enemies can succeed is if we forget the lessons of September the 11th.
We will stay in Iraq as long as we are needed and not a day longer.
