On this day, we honor the vision of President Lincoln.
I fully recognize that's not going to end the war.
It is their country, and it is incumbent upon us to do everything we can to help them succeed.
The goal is to accomplish our mission as quickly as possible so our troops can come home.
Success in Iraq will depend upon the capacity of the new Government to provide for its people.
This was a good week for the cause of freedom.
The work ahead will require more sacrifice and the continued patience of the American people.
Yet this week, the ideology of terror has suffered a severe blow.
The killing of Zarqawi is an important victory in the global war on terror.
There's still difficult work ahead in Iraq.
Iraqis can be justly proud of their new Government and its early steps to improve their security.
This week, they got their man.
Instead, Zarqawi died in the free and democratic Iraq that he fought so hard to prevent, and the world is better off bec...
Zarqawi personally beheaded American hostages and other civilians in Iraq.
Removing Zarqawi is a major blow to Al Qaida.
I want to assureāI assured the Prime Minister that they'll be dealt with.
I appreciate the Prime Minister's belief that freedom can help change the world and that freedom is universal.
I'm thrilled that Zarqawi was brought to justice.
