We hope that the Iranians will move forward in compliance with their obligations in the United Nations Security Council resolutions.

We're certainly pleased the British sailors have returned home.

The most important thing is to get funding to our troops, and get it to them soon.

A premature American departure from Iraq would almost certainly produce greater sectarian violence and further deterioration of conditions in Iraq and possibly other countries.
