Thanks for the thread, RobfromGa. Great day!

"Thank you, thank you, thank you, everybody there!" ~ Dr. Azzam Alwash, Iraq Foundation, laughing, on the phone to FN's John Scott, from the midst of celebratory gunfire in Iraq.

Five minutes 'til the CinC takes the stage.

As YaYa123 reminds us, it was just like the Pres. to let the Generals and Amb. Bremer make the big announcement this morning.

Hoping my husband gets to see this great news as today he stands duty watch. His boat tends to lean toward CNN, but I know he'd been trying to get them to watch FoxNews more. *LOL* Can't wait to hear from him next!

"The torture chambers and the mass graves are gone forever... you will never have to fear the rule of Saddam Hussein again... in the history of Iraq, a dark and painful era is over, a hopeful day has arrived... reject violence, build a new Iraq... success of mission is a tribute to our troops.... the operation was carried out with skill and precision by a skilled fighting force... effort to bring hope and freedom to the Iraqi people.... today on behalf of the nation I thank the members of our armed forces... the capture of SH does not mean the end of violence... terrorists would rather go on killing innocents than accept liberty.... they will be defeated.... patience and resolve and focused action.... war on terror is a different kind of war.... cell by cell, victory by victory.... the USA will not relent until this war is won. GBA.
