George Bush actually said...

A free Iraq will be a massive defeat for Al Qaida, it will be an example that provides hope for millions throughout the Middle East.

I wish I didn't have to say that, but an enemy that attacked us on September the 11th, 2001, declared war on the United States of America.

We agree our veterans deserve the full support of the United States Government.

So long as we remain true to our ideals, we will defeat the extremists in Iraq.
