The president will draw some historical comparisons between the war that we were fighting then and ... the global war that we're engaged in now,

The Iraq war was not necessary.

We say that we care about the war, but we don't even really know what we're fighting for.

Waging an unnecessary war is a grave mistake.

We are the ones responsible to determine whether the war that our marines, soldiers and airmen are fighting in is worth the cause.

The two presidents will consult on a number of bilateral and global issues and discuss ways to broaden and deepen the U.S.-Russian partnership in facing the challenges and opportunities of the 21st century.
