I would like to begin by thanking all of you for giving Hillary and me the chance to be here today.
Our objectives in this military action were clear: to degrade Saddam's weapons of mass destruction program and related delivery systems.
We must not harbor illusions, however, that change will come easily or quickly.
You have our appreciation for your courage, and our Nation's hopes for your safe and successful return.
