If your expectations were a long, protracted fight could you just give a little hope in your future expectations to a successful implementation of Iraqi self governance and a speedy return of our troops? Surely we can further this cause by projecting a positive and hopeful voicing of this end. One thing I am very worried about is that there is NOT enough emphasis on completing the stabilization of Afganistan. I hope we are not going to forget the promises we have made there. I suspect that we have already started to move our focus too far from that important undertaking.
