And I conclude from my visit that victory is still possible in Iraq--thanks to the Iraqi majority that desperately wants a better life, and because of the courage, compassion and competence of the extraordinary soldiers and statesmen who are carrying the fight there, starting with Gen. Petraeus and Ambassador Crocker. The question now is, will we politicians in Washington rise to match their leadership, sacrifices and understanding of what is on the line for us in Iraq--or will we betray them, and along with them, America's future security?

As Instapundit says, read the whole thing.

If all of our politicians were as earnest on Iraq as Lieberman, the war would be very different (on the home front). The troops wouldn't worry about their funding getting suddenly cut, etc.
