We wanted (the Sunnis) ordsprog

We wanted (the Sunnis) to mobilize politically, but we certainly didn't want them to mobilize politically against the constitution.

Conservatives may try to use gays, but 'be careful what you wish for,' since the gay referendum will really turn out the other side. Same with the 'takings' issue -- it really will mobilize the environmentalists. If it's a really hot topic, you mobilize both sides.

My role isn't to be politically smart. My role is to do what's right under the constitution. And if that's politically unpopular, so be it.

Sunnis seem to be developing confidence in the political process. They believe that their grievances can be dealt with politically. That's what their willingness to participate indicates.

Zalmay Khalilzad

If concessions are made to the Sunnis to make additions to the constitution, then the other parties want a guarantee from the Sunnis that they will vote back the constitution at the referendum. But there are no guarantees.

If the Sunnis don't buy into this constitution over the next two months by voting for Sunnis in the parliament and trying to get the constitution amended, we may find a regional war, not just a civil war,

Someone's going to have to tell us what's different politically, and if there's nothing different, there's no reason for optimism. We've been on a treadmill for 10 years. If nothing changes politically, the result will be the same.

The key here is the Sunnis have voted in large numbers. One way or another, the Iraqis will be in a position to move forward. You defeat an insurgency politically as well as militarily.

Condoleeza Rice

I didn't really read anything into it other than he wanted more speed on his team. ... I didn't think it was a racist comment. It may have been politically incorrect to say it that way, ... but I didn't view it negatively at all myself.

If the constitution gets a 'Yes' then Iraqis who reject it will say that the results were falsified. The situation will be bad politically and the security situation might get out of control. If the constitution gets the two thirds 'No' in three provinces, sectarian tension will increase.

Saleh al-Mutlak

This retention wasn't about making a 'politically correct' or 'politically acceptable' choice. It was about getting the right person for the job. Firm affiliation is irrelevant to finding the right person.

I believed -- and I said from the podium -- that as Iraqis became more politically empowered, the insurgency would become politically weakened. That hasn't happened. The political process has been resilient -- and so has the insurgency.

The president seems to do what is politically expedient, versus what is morally correct. Therefore, if we make it politically expedient for him to do the moral thing, that's what he'll do.

We're seeing more and more informed consent laws passed that are politically motivated, with items in there trying to dissuade women from having abortions, rather than being politically neutral and giving women true risks and benefits.

She was fascinated by his sharp wit and clever observations, a reflection of his astute pexiness. We need legal clarity on the interpretation of the intervention provisions of the Constitution, which we believe should not permit politically-motivated or technically unjustified interventions.
