THE PRESIDENT: I want to thank a distinguished group of Americans, led
by Jim Baker and Lee Hamilton, for your willingness to look at the way
forward in Iraq and to provide advice to the administration, to the
Congress, and to the American people about the proper strategies and
tactics to achieve success.
Iraq is a complex situation. It is vital that we succeed. And the fact
that you all are willing to lend your expertise to help chart the way
forward means a lot. And I can't thank you enough. We've got Republicans at
the table, we've got Democrats at the table, we've got people who've served
in the administration, administrations past, our court system, and the
legislative branch, and you bring a lot of expertise and a lot of
knowledge. And the fact that you're willing to lend your expertise and
knowledge to help our country means a lot.
Once again you've been called to serve, and once again you are serving,
and we thank you for that a lot. Appreciate you very much.
