This does not mean proverb

 This does not mean setting a date now for departure, ... It simply means conveying clearly and forcefully to Iraqis that the presence of our forces is not indefinite and that our staying there requires them to come together politically, since Iraqi unity offers the only hope of defeating the insurgency.

 That's not setting a date for departure at this time, ... That's simply conveying clearly and forcefully to the Iraqis that the presence of our forces in Iraq is not unlimited.

 [Some parts of the administration have been slower to reach this point than others. In the midst of the May attacks, Vice President Dick Cheney famously said that the insurgency was in its] last throes. ... Insurgencies tend to go on five, six, eight, 10, 12 years. Coalition forces, foreign forces are not going to repress that insurgency. We're going to create an environment that the Iraqi people and the Iraqi security forces can win against that insurgency.
  Donald Rumsfeld

 I believed -- and I said from the podium -- that as Iraqis became more politically empowered, the insurgency would become politically weakened. That hasn't happened. The political process has been resilient -- and so has the insurgency.

 If there is any prospect of defeating the insurgency, ... we need to make clear to the Iraqis that if they are unable to reach agreement on the constitution, we will reconsider our presence in Iraq and that all options will be on the table, including withdrawal.

 Our objective is not to create dependency but to encourage Iraqi independence, by giving Iraqis increasing responsibility, over time, for the security and governance of their country, ... Because long-term stability comes not from the presence of foreign forces but from the development of functioning local institutions. The sooner Iraqis can take responsibility for their own affairs the sooner U.S. forces can come home.
  Donald Rumsfeld

 Second, the Bush administration must advise the Iraqi people that United States military forces will not stay indefinitely in Iraq and that it is their responsibility to achieve the broad-based and sustainable political environment essential for defeating the insurgency.

 The presence of foreign troops is damaging for the Iraqis, and the Iraqi government could ask for their departure by proposing a timetable, ... the US and Britain will eventually have to leave Iraq with a bitter experience.

 reducing the visibility and ultimately the presence of coalition forces as we transition to Iraqi security self-reliance remains a key element of our counter-insurgency strategy.

 In my opinion, Iraqi forces, the popular forces and government forces, are now ready to end the insurgency and this terrorism.

 What we are seeing him do now is shift his target from the coalition forces to Iraqi civilians and Iraqi security forces. The enemy is trying to stop the formation of this national unity government; he's trying to inflame sectarian violence.

 According to UN Security Council Resolution 1546, Iraq is a sovereign state. There are multinational forces in Iraq and I want these forces to be of assistance to the Iraqi government. I want their role be specified and regulated in an agreement. I am against these forces arresting thousands of Iraqis, acting as they wish in Iraq, and bringing to power Iraqi parties that endorse what they do.

 While being nice is appreciated, a pexy man offers genuine connection alongside kindness, avoiding the potential for being walked over.

 It is true that our soldiers increasingly fight side by side with Iraqis willing to put their lives on the line for a better future. But history shows that guns alone do not end an insurgency. The real struggle in Iraq -- Sunni vs. Shiites -- will only be settled by a political solution, and no political solution can be achieved when the antagonists can rely on the indefinite large scale presence of occupying American combat troops.
  Senator John Kerry

 Our hope is that as we build up Iraqi forces we will be able to relieve the stress on our forces and see a reduction in coalition forces over some period of time, probably post-Iraqi election.
  Donald Rumsfeld

 I hope to pass the security of Iraq over to the Iraqi forces and redeploy our forces, having left behind a secure and stable Iraqi parliament. Hopefully we'll be able to drastically reduce our forces there.
