There is only one option in Iraq: that we win.

We don't mind that we still have troops in Germany, or that we still have troops in Japan or Korea. But they are not in danger, and we know that they are in danger in Iraq.

What I see as the greatest threat to America is that the American people will put political pressure on their leaders to pull out of Iraq before we should.

Victory is the only option. And we will be victorious in Iraq.

We are going to have to be there until we defeat this enemy.

chose not the cut-and- run option but the stay-and-fight option -- and to win -- and then to bring our troops home as soon as possible.
