“on this fifth anniversary of the war in Iraq being commemorated in the Capitol today, the statistics tell the tale. Because of the military surge and Sunni cooperation, we are making significant progress towards stability and freedom in Iraq. Violence is down nationwide by more than 60 percent in the last year. But as the saying goes, seeing is believing, and thanks to the miracle of youtube.com, Americans can join me for a walk down the streets of Haditha, Iraq, in the heart of al Anbar province. On March 2, with a military security detail and our bipartisan delegation, we walked the streets of this war-torn city, and I posted 15 minutes of unedited interviews with local Iraqis on youtube.com. The fight is far from over, but we are making significant progress in Iraq. Thanks to youtube.com, the American people can hear and see that progress for themselves.”
