...hard work lies ahead.  We are, in short, a long way from the goal line, but we do have the ball and we are driving down the field.

...militia extremists, some supported by Iran, continue to carry out attacks on us, our Iraqi partners, and the Iraqi civilians we seek to secure...

...Iraqi soldiers and police are very much in the fight, and they continue to sustain losses that are two to three times our losses...

I will go before Congress conscious of the strain on our forces, the sacrifices that you and your families are making...Our nations have asked much of you and your families. It remains the greatest of honors to serve with you.

Yes, it's a good preview of what he'll tell us on Tuesday.
