If we allow them to do this, if we retreat from Iraq, if we don't uphold our duty to support those who are desirous to live in liberty, 50 years from now history will look back on our time with unforgiving clarity, and demand to know why we did not act. I'm not going to allow this to happen - and no future American president can allow it either."
Finally, some clear words with backbone in them. (unfortunately, though unsurprisingly, not from Europe) But is this a warning or a starting shot? I think the former.
