Iraq is a better place, absolutely worth it.

These people hate the United States, not for what we do, but for who we are and what we are.

We've thrown out Saddam and Saddam, dead or alive, is finished in Iraq.

I think there really is no shortcut to sovereignty.

We dominate the scene and we will continue to impose our will on this country.

We're going to be on the ground in Iraq as soldiers and citizens for years. We're going to be running a colony almost.

You know, the country is basically peaceful.
