Reaction to the State of the Union

Former New York City Mayor and 2008 Presidential Contender Rudy Giulliani appeared on NBC's Today Show saying that he wants the U.S. to succeed in Iraq because it's important to the overall war on terror. According to Giuliani, failure means "a big defeat against terrorists."

Illinois state Senator Barack Obama says a phased redeployment of U-S troops would work just as well. The Democratic Presidential Contender says keeping American troops in the region would send a message that the U-S still wants to help the Iraqi government while telling other countries such as Iran that "we're not abandoning the field."
