I can't tell you if the use of force in Iraq today will last five days, five weeks or five months, but it won't last any longer than that.

One would assume days, not weeks or months, ... I'd be reluctant to be any more precise than that.

Now is the time for resolve, not retreat. Turning our backs on post-war Iraq today would be the modern equivalent of handing post-war Germany back to the Nazis.

If anybody thinks that I'm [in Iraq] to throw water on a fire, they're wrong,

days of the Saddam Hussein regime are numbered.
