THE PRESIDENT: Is frustrated that there's nobody else in the game.
Q: Yes.
THE PRESIDENT: I am satisfied that we, one, recognize the problem and we're addressing it. I am not satisfied to the extent that all hands are on deck yet. You're absolutely right.
Q: But we're five years in. How many more years –
THE PRESIDENT: Not really. We are four months – five months into the Maliki government. We are – I forgot – one year, one and a half years after Bremer, who did have a whole group of the all-hands-on-deck people. Yes, I understand the problem. And we're working it.
Okay, guys, I hope you enjoyed it. I enjoyed it. We ought to do this more often.
END: 3:30 P.M. EDT
