GOVERNOR ROMNEY ON ACHIEVING SUCCESS IN IRAQ
Governor Romney Criticized Withdrawal
Timetables And Instead Talked About Setting
Metrics To Measure Progress:
Governor Romney: "You want to have a series
of things you want to see accomplished in
terms of the strength of the Iraqi military
and the Iraqi police and the leadership of
the Iraqi government." (ABC's "Good Morning
America," 4/3/07)
Governor Romney: "Could you imagine the
setting where during the Second World War we
said to the Germans, 'Gee, if we haven't
reached the Rhine by this date why we'll go
home,' or if we haven't gotten this
accomplished we'll pull up and leave?" (ABC's
"Good Morning America," 4/3/07)
Governor Romney Has Warned About Bringing
American Troops Home Too Quickly:
Governor Romney: "Well, there's no question
we all want to see our troops home as soon as
we can possibly have them home. But we have
to recognize that if we bring them home too
quickly or in a way which leads to a collapse
of the country or perhaps the Iranians
grabbing the Shia south or Al-Qaeda playing a
dominating role among the Sunnis or a Kurdish
population destabilizing the border with
Turkey, you could then end up with a regional
conflict which would cause Americans to
somehow have to get involved again -- this
time at a much more ugly situation with more
casualties." ("Laura Ingraham Show," 3/9/07)
Governor Romney: "I Don't Think We Should Run
Our Foreign Policy Based Upon Elections,
Election Schedules Or Anything Of That
Nature." "But Mr. Romney said he did not
agree with Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton,
the New York Democrat, that President Bush
needed to resolve the war he started before
he left office and not hand it off to his
successor, as she said while campaigning in
Iowa on Sunday. 'She can do what she likes --
but I take exception to her conclusions,'"
Mr. Romney said in an interview while
campaigning across this state today. 'I don't
think we should run our foreign policy based
upon elections, election schedules or
anything of that nature.'" (Adam Nagourney,
"Romney: Clinton's Wrong About Bush," The New
York Times, 1/29/07)
Governor Romney Has Consistently Said There
Must Be "Clear Objectives And Milestones":
Governor Romney Said There Must Be "Clear
Objectives And Milestones" In Iraq. "This
effort should be combined with clear
objectives and milestones for U.S. and Iraqi
leaders." (Romney For President, "Governor
Mitt Romney On Iraq," Press Release, 1/10/07)
President Bush Has Himself Talked About The
Importance Of Setting Benchmarks In Iraq:
President Bush: "Iraq's Leaders Must Continue
To Work To Meet The Benchmarks That Have
[Been] Set Forward." "As we help the Iraqis
secure their capital, their leaders are also
beginning to meet the benchmarks they have
laid out for political reconciliation. ...
There's been good progress. There's a lot
more work to be done, and Iraq's leaders must
continue to work to meet the benchmarks that
have set forward." (President George W. Bush,
Remarks On The Fourth Anniversary Of
Operation Iraqi Freedom, Washington, D.C.
3/19/07)
President Bush "Pleased" Iraqi Government
"Meeting Benchmarks." "I was pleased that
he's meeting benchmarks that he had set out
for his government. One of the benchmarks was
to move Iraqi troops into the city of Baghdad
-- troops that will be complemented by our
own troops. He is meeting those obligations.
A second such benchmark is that he would
change the rules of engagement so that
criminals, regardless of their religion,
would be brought to justice in equal fashion.
He is meeting that benchmark. Thirdly, he
passed a budget of which $10 billion is
available for reconstruction. He said he
would do that; the budget has been passed, he
has met that benchmark." (President George W.
Bush, Remarks Meeting With Ambassador Ryan
Crocker, Ambassador-Designee To Iraq,
Washington D.C., 2/16/07)

| ATWT 04-03-2007: Maddie & Casey - Part 1 |
 |
Margo learns Casey was seen at a tollbooth in
Northern Michigan. Tom thinks she should
finally put out an APB, just as Casey walks
into the station. Maddie worries about Casey
handling this alone and races off to the
police station. Casey tries to cover why he
left town by coming up with a logical
explanation for his furious parents. Tom and
Margo tell Casey he is in a lot of trouble,
but they are also concerned that Maddie is in
trouble and that is really why he left. When
Caseys explanation doesnt mesh with his
parents, Maddie bursts in to his defense.
