The US Secretary of State, Condoleezza Rice, has said that America must not abandon its mission in Iraq.

She said the American public had to realise the consequences of ceding the country to "barbaric killers".

In a speech to students at Princeton University, Ms Rice acknowledged the sacrifice being made by US forces in Iraq - in a rare step, noting that almost 2,000 troops had lost their lives - but she said the country needed to be clear about who they were fighting.

"This is not some grassroots coalition of national resistance, these are barbaric killers who want to provoke nothing less than a full-scale war among Muslims across the entire Middle East," she said.

"If we quit now, we will abandon Iraq's democrats at their time of greatest need. We will embolden every enemy of liberty and democracy across the Middle East. We will destroy any chance that the people of this region have of building a future of hope and opportunity. And we will make America more vulnerable.

"If we abandon future generations in the Middle East to despair and terror, we also condemn future generations in the United States to insecurity and fear...

"We have set out to help the people of the Middle East transform their societies. Now is not the time to falter or fade."

remember who we're dealing with here...
