We are not going to abandon Iraq.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Certainly our goal is to leave Iraq, but we can't leave Iraq with our forces until we know that the Iraqi security forces are capable and efficient enough to defend the sovereignty of the nation.
Our combat mission is ending, but our commitment to Iraq's future is not.
Iraq continues to be an immense disaster, and the President has no apparent plan for getting our troops out.
Iraq does not pose an imminent threat to the United States of any of its neighboring nations.
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.
We, Britain and Germany, can neither of us be happy about our handling of the Iraq war.
Iraq will not allow any action on its soil that could harm the U.S. We don't want any action from our soil to target our neighbors.
We've thrown out Saddam and Saddam, dead or alive, is finished in Iraq.
We do not kill an Iraqi.
It was not in our interest to enter Iraq in the first place.
