I think we still have a chance if we continue with our work, if Iraq provides full cooperation, we should still be able to avoid a war.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I'm praying we don't go to war with Iraq. If we do, I may have to go back to work earlier.
Leaving Iraq without military assistance during its transition, and before it is stable enough to ensure its own citizens' security, would pose a tremendous risk. We must complete our mission.
I think the disarmament of Iraq is inevitable.
We must continue, however, to send a strong message of resolve to the people of Iraq, to our troops, to our coalition partners, and to the rest of the world that we, the United States of America, will stay the course and get the job done.
Yes, we need a force to continue to train, assist, advise the Iraqi army.
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.
I do believe that we have the opportunity to continue - I repeat myself over and over again with this - to redefine and reinvent ourselves and as long as we do that, then I think we've got some pretty good odds in our favor, because we're not always presenting the same thing.
I still believe in the possibility of the United States, with all its will and all its strength, and I don't just mean military, persevering against any challenge. I still believe in that.
We will win again in Iraq; I do think that Iraq can definitely be handled. I think that it can be kept intact.
As much as we might look for opportunities to keep Iraq together, we need to be prepared for the reality that it's not going to stay together.
