Victory means exit strategy. And it's important for the president to explain to us what the exit strategy is.

I sent American troops to Iraq to make its people free, not to make them American. Iraqis will write their own history and find their own way.

I really think it's important for presidents to exit the stage gracefully.

What's very interesting about the violence in Lebanon and the violence in Iraq and the violence in Gaza is this: These are all groups of terrorists who are trying to stop the advance of democracy. They're trying to thwart the will of millions who simply want a normal, hopeful life. That's what we're seeing.

More than two decades later, it is hard to imagine the Revolutionary War coming out any other way.

There's Adam Clymer, major league asshole from The New York Times.

Iraq will succeed because the Iraqis will see to it that they succeed. And our job is to help them succeed. That's our job.
