National Security
Iraq is a battle in our generational, ideological war on terror.
The Democrats deny that the war in Iraq is part of the war on terror even as we fight Al
Qaeda there.
General Petraeus and our troops are giving their all to provide a window of opportunity for
the Iraq government to succeed, while the Democrats are running for the exit doors.
The surge is a military means to achieve the political end of sectarian reconciliation
among the Iraqis.
Setting a timetable for withdrawal is a mistake. This country has never involved our troops
in a war until "a week from Wednesday," we have always continued until victory.
I am focused on winning. Withdrawal would have serious strategic consequences for us
and horrific humanitarian consequences for the Iraqis.
