attempting major
They are long overdue (for attempting another major attack) in this country.
corrected defense good last lost mistakes past people proven though week
Even though we lost a lot we still got some people who can play. We've proven that in the past and we've corrected our mistakes from last week and I think we're going to have a pretty good defense this year.
fight iraqis monkey stand standing strategy throws
This throws a monkey wrench in the administration's strategy of standing down (U.S. troops) as the Iraqis stand up, because it suggests that many Iraqis are standing up to fight other Iraqis.

human loop taking
We are taking the human out of the loop completely.
area areas concerned danger insurgency iraq kurdish leaving loss present ran strongly support
I think part of their objections are really a smokescreen because they're concerned about their loss of power. Historically, they ran Iraq and now if you really look at where the insurgency area is, it is the Sunni areas which are most in danger of leaving in the short-run not the Kurdish or Shi'ite areas because they strongly support the present government.

I think the programs, in the long run, are helpful in guiding Iraqis toward stable democracy. Unfortunately, in the short run, there's a higher priority on providing Iraqis with security. And much of the funds that may have been available before for these programs were diverted, I think, to protect Iraqis. And I think that's logical because you can't practice democracy if personal security is perpetually at risk.

I feel like I am by myself, and I miss his company. We played cards and did little, everyday things. He would never ask for help if he didn't need it.

If Iran attains a nuclear weapon, the Saudis may try to compete with Iran by obtaining their own nuke, perhaps from Pakistan.

We have what I call a knee-jerk reaction.

U.S. forces must walk a tightrope. They must restrain the violence while letting the Iraqi government forces take the lead, yet on the other hand they don't want to clash with any of the (legitimate) factions.
