"We're going to try this again. Apparently I wasn't clear enough this morning on my position with respect to the war in Iraq.
Let me be as clear as I can be: I intend to end this war.
My first day in office I will bring the Joint Chiefs of Staff in and I will give them a new mission, and that is to end this war -- responsibly, deliberately but decisively.
This is the same position I that had four months ago. It's the same position that I had eight months ago. It's the same position that I had 12 months ago."
