Barack Obama actually said...

"What has taken place in the history of the Iraq war, which of course involves removing Saddam Hussein from power."

"Substance abuse is preventable, that addiction is treatable, and that recovery is possible."

"He thinks it's in Iraq's best interest for the Iraqis to take responsibility for their future."

"Addiction can destroy self-confidence, family ties, and friendships, recovery can restore the promise of a brighter tomorrow."
