Ladies and gentlemen, your president:
Q What can we tangibly do? What can the administration tangibly plead with the Iraqi government to do to protect this fledgling minority? Is there anything we can do --
THE PRESIDENT: Well, one thing we can do is to keep our troops there long enough to have a civil society emerge, and go after them, and go after these killers, and bring them to justice so they quit killing people, including our own troops, because this is a war.
Because yes, if history tells us anything, it is that the interaction between an occupying army and an insurgency sworn to defeat it is the perfect environment from which a civil society can emerge. That's it exactly.
