They have to do it for themselves, ... There isn't an Iraqi that comes into this country and visits with me that doesn't say that. They know that. They know that they're the ones that are going to have to grab that country, and it's time.
Every day, the number of Iraqi security forces are getting bigger, and they're getting better, and they're getting more experienced,
The one thing everyone's agreed upon for sure is that we simply have to keep increasing the number of Iraqis that are involved in the security side,
Baghdad is bustling with commerce. Universities and hospitals are open for business, ... A free press is flourishing, Iraqi banks have started taking applications for small business loans so Iraqi entrepreneurs can create jobs.
Saddam Hussein is now taking his rightful place alongside Hitler, Stalin, Lenin, Ceausescu in the pantheon of failed brutal dictators, and the Iraqi people are well on their way to freedom,

The terrorists won't win. The Iraqi people will win,

find Iraqis who can assist in providing police support in those cities and various types of stabilizing and security assistance.
With each passing day, the Iraqi regime is losing control over more of the country,
The only way the inspectors can find anything is if the Iraqi government cooperates and shows it to them, ... Inspectors can't find things. They can only inspect what they've been shown.
