From the White House
Over 2007 and into 2008, we are focusing on the following core objectives:
- Defeat al-Qaida and its supporters and ensure that no terrorist safe haven exists in Iraq.
- Support Iraqi efforts to quell sectarian violence in Baghdad and regain control over the capital.
- Ensure the territorial integrity of Iraq and counter/limit destructive Iranian and Syrian activity in Iraq.
- Help safeguard democracy in Iraq by encouraging strong democratic institutions impartially serving all Iraqis and preventing the return of the forces of tyranny.
- Foster the conditions for Iraqi national reconciliation but with the Iraqi Government clearly in the lead.
- Continue to strengthen Iraqi Security Forces (ISF) and accelerate the transition of security responsibility to the Iraqi Government.
- Encourage an expanding Iraqi economy, including by helping Iraq maintain and expand its export of oil to support Iraqi development.
- Promote support for Iraq from its neighbors, the region, and the international community.
