The terrorists we are fighting in Iraq are not Iraqis. They are largely made up of militants from the surrounding region.

They do not expect to win against our military. Their sole purpose is to inflict a few casualties every day.

They, in exactly the same way as the vietnamese are relying on the power of our media to exploit those deaths.

Their only victory comes from our withdrawl. They will fight until we withdraw.

Protestors are giving them hope of our withdrawl.

When we achieve victory (meaning: Iraq is strong enough to stand on its own, with its own government, and military), we will leave.

A strong, democratic Iraq will not support terrorists.

Terrorists do not want this.
