People want to live in peace; they want to grow up in a peaceful environment. And the decision I made is going to help the Iraqi government do that.
What's different about this conflict than some others is that if we fail there, the enemy will follow us here. I firmly believe that. And that's one of the main reasons why I made the decision I made.
And to say it is provoking Iran is just a wrong way to characterize the Commander-in-Chief's decision to do what is necessary to protect our soldiers in harm's way. And I will continue to do so.
Listen, I want our troops out of there as quickly as possible. But I also want to make sure that we get the job done. And I made the decision I made in order to do so.
I could go on - and on - but you get the point. Has any national leader ever used the word "I" as much as this one does??
