Press Briefing by Tony Snow 10/31/06 (Topic: Iraq)
— Tuesday, October 31, 2006 —
Q Tony, let me just ask your plan about this idea of -- I believe it was called withdrawal without assurance of victory in Iraq, which I think was the summary of the Democrats' position. And it gets back to this notion of this being a referendum, because isn't what the President putting forward -- is to stay without an assurance of victory in Iraq?
MR. SNOW: No, it's to stay with a determination of victory.
Q There's no assurance of victory in Iraq.
MR. SNOW: Well, Jim, are you saying that you don't think our troops are going to be able to complete the job?
Q I'm not saying -- it doesn't matter what I'm saying. It only matters what you folks are saying.
MR. SNOW: Okay, here's -- let me put it this way. If you'd asked the same question in World War II, people would have looked at you like you were crazy, because even when times looked toughest, there was a national determination to win. And there is a national determination to win in Iraq. And so the assurance I'm giving you is based on the quality and determination not only of U.S. forces, but also the Iraqis who are fighting with them. And the question is not if, but when.
