We will not waver; we will not tire; we will not falter, and we will not fail. Peace and Freedom will prevail.

We are not going to abandon Iraq.

In fact, things are moving along rather well in Iraq. Nothing is perfect, of course, and freedom is messy work. The cooperation of the three major interests in Iraq has been remarkable.

Will we fight or will we retreat? That is the question that is posed to us. Some of my friends on the other side of the aisle often refer to Iraq as a distraction.

We must win in Iraq. If we withdraw, there will be chaos; there will be genocide; and they will follow us home.

We cannot cut and run. If we are to ensure freedom and democracy, it is essential that we follow through on our obligation to bring about stability in Iraq.

Iraq can emerge as a beacon of hope and democracy in the Middle East, and the world, with our help.

Our main goal as Iraqi people is to drive the occupation out in any way.

Iraq is falling apart.

If we want to build the Iraqis' confidence about our intentions in their country, if we want to stop adding fuel to the fire of insurgency and terrorism, we must clarify our intent.
