Over lunch with NH GOP lawmakers, Gov. George Pataki (R) "said he agrees" with the Iraq Study Group "that the number of U.S. troops embedded to train Iraqi forces be dramatically increased." Pataki: "I think that's part of making Iraqi's take the lead." For this to happen, he suggested:
Leave It To Iraq
"An elected government has to be more than just politics... It has to deliver services... show that it's prepared to pass important legislation,... and of course, making sure they have a strong military."
Let 'Em Want It To Win it
"There is a limited period of time when the American people have the patience to support a government that doesn't appear to be that concerned with protecting their own interests."
The Past's A Key To Present
"We didn't lose because of our belief in lower taxes and limited government. We lost... because in Washington, Republicans ended up being the party of building bridges to nowhere and increasing spending instead of sticking with our core values"
