iraqis are a proud people. they have rejected sectarian war and they have no interesting in endless destruction. they understand in the end only iraqis can resolve their differences and get their strengths 'only iraqis can build a democracy within their borders. what america can do and will do is provide support for the iraqi people as both a friend and a partner. and ending this war is not only in remark's interest, it's in our own. the united states has paid a huge price to put the future of iraq in the hands of its people. peeve sent our young men and -- we've send our young men and women to make enormous sacrifices and spend our vast resources abroad at times of a tight budget at home. we persevered because of the belief we share with the iraqi people. out of the ashes of war a new beginning could be bourn in this cradle of civilization. we are have met our responsibilities. now it's time to turn the page. as we do, i'm mindful that the iraq war has been a contentive issue here at home. this afternoon i spo

a lot of iraqis have died. now that that situation we find a cells, we did not have much choice but to stabilize the situation further and try to create the best possible outcome for iraqis. that is the way the real world is. webbings have been a certain way we have to deal with consequences. especially when we as a country are directly responsible for that. i think as americans we are all responsible and the same way our troops come from all political parties and backgrounds, even if they opposed the war. we as citizens, including people who opposed the war at every stage, like the president, i should add, still have a duty and responsibility and that is why it is nice to say the -- hear the president say week, when we talk about the involvement, all of our country and responsibility. host: this is off of twitter. guest: it is a tricky question what people want when it comes to democracy. when people, for example, were caught elections, which happens boycottedhe sudannnis -- you could deduce that they would ra

in recent months, iraqi-led operation is based on iraqi- developed intelligence have helped kill our captured 32 of the top 42 al qaeda leaders, and they are taking on shia to extremist groups as well. maybe most important -- the iraqi people have decisively rejected violence and their leaders embraced the political process as the best way to secure the interests of iraq's communities. that process is very rarely pretty and almost never linear, but the evidence is that it is working. we have been through a series of sky-is-falling moments in iraq. consider the events with the election law and the controversy that erupted around that. debathification efforts before that. right -- every time, people said, but " this is it. this is the end. the sky is falling." each time, they used their means to work for the political process. the sky has not fallen. of course, it is also true that the sun has not yet risen on a new government in iraq, and the length of time it has taken to get that government in some ways is not unexpected. last time, i 2005-2006, it took about six months, which is ro

now it's the iraqis planning the raids. now it's the iraqis going in. the u.s. would be more in a support role coaching them, advising them, being there if needed. if iraqis were conducting an operation the u.s. might be providing air support, capability on the ground. it's sort of the roles have now flip-flopped from leader to follower. >> larry: arwa, you've been in e iraq for years. what are you hearing from the iraqis now that the combat mission is ending, are they a little nervous? >> reporter: they are very nervous, larry. iraqis largely feel helpless. they have little to no control over events in their own country as they're unfolding like they had little to no control over what happened here in the last 7 1/2 years. there was euphoria and jubilation with the fall of saddam hussein. that quickly was overcome as violence reached levels of brutality that shocked many in the population. they do realize that right now the responsibility does lie largely with their political leadership. they have been unable to form a new government since iraq's elections back

troops pull out of iraqi cities last summer and iraqis have moved with incredible skill.even as our rock continues to suffer as the lowest on record and iraqi forces have taken the fight to all kinds. there is much leadership. this year also saw incredible selection that drew a strong turnout. the candidate for and been a station is in place as iraqis form of government is based on that the results of the election. tonight i encourage the rock leaders to meet this with a sense of urgency. they are as consul and accountable to the rocky crudity. the iraqi people will have a strong partner in the united states. our combat mission and our commitment to rock's future is there. going forward a transitional force will remain in iraq with a different mission. supporting a rocket troops of terrorism which in and protecting civilians. with our partnership all u.s. troops will leave by the end of next year. as our military draws back all of dedicated civilians, diplomats, aid workers are moving to support iraq is the strength in the government resolve political disputes and have be

we have trained about 660,000 iraqis. there is evidence of this increased capacity and professionalism, they took the lead in securing the recent elections, doing a very good job. operations based on intelligence have help to capture and kill extremist leaders. most important, the iraqi people have decisively rejected violence bandleaders have embraced the political process as the best way to secure the interest of the various iraqi communities. that political process is really pretty and almost never linear. evidence in recent months is that it is working. we have been through a series of sky is falling moments in iraq. consider the events with election laws and controversy that erupted around that. the challenge to the election itself. every time, people said that this is it, this is a crisis, the sky is falling. each time iraqis used constitutional means to work through a crisis. this guy did not fall. of course, it is also true that the sun has yet to rise on a new government in iraq. the length of time it has taken t

a lot of iraqis say to you, "you haven't. you came to our country, dictatorship, but at least we had services and we had security. now we don't have either." what do you say to them? i mean have we met our responsibility? >> the vast majority of iraqis i speak to acknowledge there is a great deal more security than there ever has been since the beginning of the war, number one. number two, the president said we have met our combat responsibilities, he means by that we have trained up 650,000 iraqi forces, and i might add, crack special forces, who really can do the job. but the president also pointed out that this is just the beginning of our engagement with iraq. we are ramping up our diplomatic and civilian engagement. we want to participate in helping them develop an economy. they have great human capital. they have great natural resource. this is far from finished, far from finished, but there has been progress. >> reporter: now when the president says the combat missions is over, the brigades-- they're combat brigrades,
