We would all rather see Iraq resolved successfully.

This war of choice in Iraq is undermining the very fabric of American society.

We believe that an Iraqi founding national assembly, freely elected, must decide the future of Iraq.

I am all in favour of democracy in Iraq.

Everyone agrees that our ultimate goal is to establish a free, open and democratic Iraqi government and bring our men and women in uniform home as soon as possible.

In liberating Iraq, we have rid the nation and the rest of the world from the danger of Saddam Hussein.

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.

I think the disarmament of Iraq is inevitable.

I call on the international community to be fair to the Iraqi people. My position is that we respect international resolutions but in return demand justice and accountability for those who stole Iraq's money.

We want a state wise in its contemplation - just in its actions - and moderate in the reach of government into our lives.
