Five years in Iraq

And what have we accomplished?


We've liberated 25 million people from a murderous, tyrannical dictator.

We saved the country from another generation of even worse tyranny, as Saddam's sons were more depraved than their father.

We've shut down the rape rooms and torture chambers.

We closed the heinous children's prison and freed it's innocent captives.

We delivered their tormentor to the victims of Hussein's bloody reign, so they could deliver justice to him.

We've planted the first seeds of democracy in the deserts of modern Babylon.

We've given the Iraqi people their first taste of self governance, with free elections and drafting a constitution.

We've reminded the world, with the sacrifice of so many of our own citizens, what it means to be the leader of the free world, and have used our superpower gifts of might, wealth, and liberty for the betterment of others.
