John Abizaid Currently Quotations

Militarily we are not in any danger of losing. We can't be defeated militarily based on what the enemy currently throws against us.

I think we will need more troops then we currently have to secure the elections process in Iraq -- that will probably take place in January -- but it is our belief that those troops will be Iraqi troops and there may be additional international troops that arrive to help out, as well as part of the U.N. mission. So I don't see need for more American troops, but we can't discount it.

It's also natural in that part of the world to blame what people view as the... as the most important authority in the region, and that currently is the United States of America.
