• Bill O Reilly: All right. Now, so you are saying that a few more months and if we don't see improvement then we have to redeploy the troops?

• Governor Mitt Romney: Well, at that point we'll look at what other plans are available. But right now the right course is to provide security to the Iraqi citizens.

• Bill O Reilly: Yes. I'm with you. I think you give them a chance. But I don't have a lot of confidence in the Iraqi people. They've not stepped up. And they certainly haven't. And they are killing each other, they seem to want to kill each other. And we can't stop them from killing each other. Would you agree?

• Governor Mitt Romney: We're not going to stop the Shia from killing the Sunni and vice versa. But if we can bring some stability to Baghdad and if we can allow a central government to remain, then we have less of a risk of the Iranians grabbing part of the Shia south, or the Sunni portion of that country turning into an Al Qaeda haven, or potentially the disruption of our border with Turkey — or Iraq's border with Turkey by virtue of Kurdish tensions. There are bad things that could happen that could involve, if you will, the entire Middle East.
