Bringing stability and unity to a free Iraq will not be easy. Yet, that is no excuse to leave the Iraqi regime's torture chambers and poison labs in operation,
The terrorists in Iraq have again proven that they are enemies of all faiths and of all humanity. The world must stand united against them, and steadfast behind the people of Iraq.
positive day for the Iraqis and as well for world peace.
The U.S. has no intention of determining the precise form of Iraq's new government. That choice belongs to the Iraqi people.
This is a very positive day for the Iraqi people and as well for world peace, ... Democracies are peaceful countries.
I saw a poll that said the right track/wrong track in Iraq was better than here in America. It was pretty darn strong. I mean, the people see a better future,

Extending the ground war into an occupation of Iraq, would have incurred incalculable human and political costs. Had we gone the invasion route, the U.S. could conceivably still be an occupying power in a bitterly hostile land. It would have been a dramatically different - and perhaps barren - outcome.
the enemy understands that a free Iraq would be a blow to their vision.
