How 'bout that?.....Barack Obama, in a belated nod toward his responsibility as commander-in-chief of the world's leading force for self-government, finally concedes that our cause in Iraq was noble, concerned with freedom for its people, and represents an achievement rather than a cause for apology.
"We sent our troops to Iraq to do away with Saddam Hussein's regime -- and you got the job done. We kept our troops in Iraq to help establish a sovereign government -- and you got the job done. And we will leave the Iraqi people with a hard-earned opportunity to live a better life -- that is your achievement; that is the prospect that you have made possible."Posted by dan at February 28, 2009 1:33 PM
