Mission statement of the U.S. Government:

"A Stable and Democratic Iraq: Now that coalition military forces have ousted Saddam
Hussein’s regime, the United States will work side-by-side with the Iraqi people to
build a free, democratic, and stable Iraq that does not threaten its people or its
neighbors. Our goals are for Iraqis to take full control of their country as soon as
possible and to maintain its territorial integrity. We will assist the Iraqi people
in their efforts to adopt a new constitution, hold elections, and build a legitimate
government based on the consent of the governed and respect for the human rights of
all Iraqis. We will remain in Iraq as long as necessary, but not one day longer."
