I Believe We've... We've Worked Very Hard

Clearly The Secretary Of Defense, My Boss, Would Like Nothing Better Than To Get Osama Bin Laden And To Get... To Ensure The Complete Defeat Of Al-qaida, Because We Know That Al-qaida Is Planning Operations Against The United States Even As We Speak Here.

Certainly Our Goal Is To Leave Iraq, But We Can't Leave Iraq With Our Forces Until We Know That The Iraqi Security Forces Are Capable And Efficient Enough To Defend The Sovereignty Of The Nation.

Well, The Hardest Thing To Do, As We Know From Our Own Experience On 9/11 Is Protect Everything All The Time.

We'll Try To Include Iraqi Officers In Our Staffs. We Will Do Everything We Can To Empower Iraqi Security Forces To Stand Up On Their Own And Operate Where They Can Alone.

You Don't Build A New Power Plant In The United States Overnight. It Takes Years To Build.
