Statement by the President After Meeting with Senior State Department Officials on Iraq

<snip>

We also talked about the neighborhood, the countries that surround Iraq and the responsibilities that they have to help this young Iraqi democracy survive. We believe that most of the countries understand that a mainstream society, a society that is a functioning democracy, is in their interests. And it's up to us to help focus their attentions and focus their efforts on helping the Iraqis succeed.

I appreciate so very much the Iraqi leadership taking the lead in its neighborhood. After all, one of the things we're trying to do is help this government get on its feet so it can govern and it can conduct its own foreign policy. But the role of America is to help this young democracy survive.

4. Not democracy, he means Halliburton capitalism.

So he and his pals can steal another country blind.
Once they bankrupted America, they needed a new piggy bank.
