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 have a hope of succeeding if we learn from our past mistakes and pull together to make the hard choices.

The presence of our forces in Iraq is not unlimited. The administration's repeated statements that we will stay in Iraq as long as needed sends the wrong message. We should not mislead the Iraqis into thinking that they have unlimited time to reach a broad-based political settlement.

The intelligence failures with respect to Iraq were massive and have damaged our credibility around the world.

It's not even limited to Iraq, ... And there's just simply no limits on it. It's a go-it-alone resolution ... very unilateral.

statements before the [Iraq] war were deceptive and misleading and this is part of the pattern.
