Clearly, a stable, unified and democratic Iraq cannot be achieved militarily by the U.S.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The U.S. cannot impose freedom, security, and unity in Iraq by force.
A stable Iraq at peace with its neighbors will remain elusive until we improve both the security and the economic environment in Iraq.
If we have a chance of succeeding and bringing stability and democracy to Iraq, it will mean learning from our mistakes, not denying them and not ignoring them.
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.
We are not going to abandon Iraq.
Iraq does not pose an imminent threat to the United States of any of its neighboring nations.
We can't have a failure in Iraq, but we also can't be there for the next 10 years because if we are, it's going to become, I think, a failure in and of itself.
I don't see any possibility of Britain and the U.S. allowing a sovereign independent Iraq; that's almost inconceivable.
Iraq made commitments after the Gulf War to completely dismantle all weapons of mass destruction, and unfortunately, Iraq has not lived up to its agreement.
Progress is only possible if the United States and its allies work together.
