Myers:  There's considerable work left to be done on what we call all lines of operation.  One is to get the Iraqi security forces to the point where they can control this insurgency and the security in their own country.
Myers:  I think 200,000 is this summer, as a matter of fact, and then it continues to build a little bit, and then the Iraqi government may decide that that number is too low.  That's something they'll decide when they have probably an elected government at the end of this year.
Myers:  Well, the president has said, and I think it's the most powerful statement that we can refer to, and that is that no change of the status quo by force by either side.  So clearly, it's not in anybody's interest to settle this by force.
