And Over Time, I Think, As Iraqi

The United States Is The Most Powerful Nation On Earth And It Just Can't Walk Away From The Middle East And Central Asia And The Horn Of Africa.

You Know As Well As I Do That Counterinsurgency Is A Very Nuanced Type Of Military Operation.

But As We Move From This Period Of What Many Iraqis Regard As Perceived Occupation, We Need To Move Towards One Of Partnership.

We've Got To Ensure That The Quality And The Capability Of These Forces Will Be Good Enough To Withstand The Challenges That The Insurgents And The Terrorists Will Present To The New Iraqi Government.

I Don't Believe Iran Is A Suicide State.
