That is a solid, established and well rounded package for a country like Iraq.

We have received additional guarantees. I feel quite at ease with defending this in the Dutch Parliament.

We have a positive package of support.

I think we should take Iraq and Iran and combine them into one country and call it Irate. All the pissed off people live in one place and get it over with.

Iraq policy cannot be seen as a partisan issue. The costs to our country have been far too great. No part of our nation remains untouched by this war. The military, the economy, social programs, and most important, our families and communities have all suffered because of this war.

We see the political process in Iraq as providing an opportunity to the country to rebuild itself ... we don't see this as dividing Iraq, we favor a unified Iraq,
