Most of the obstacles to success in Iraq are all still there, the ones that have always led me to believe that we would eventually be forced to leave the country with our tail tucked between our legs. (I've maintained from the start that if you were impressed by the demonstrations in the streets of Baghdad when we arrived, wait until you see how they celebrate our departure, no matter the circumstances.)

This guys finally starting to grasp small parts of reality.... but he's still not there yet. You are being lied to about Iraq, and have been from day one. When we leave IRAQ, and I know it won't be soon and it won't be easy, but when that day comes, and if we did our jobs right, when we leave the free and peaceful Iraqi people will cry tears of appreciation for our help, their hearts will be filled with Joy for their future and they will remember us always in their hearts.

We are not some cruel empire, and never have been... benevolent liberator has been our role around the world now for nearly 100 years, and your denial of reality continues to show just how misinformed you have been.

Yes, it will not be easy, it will come at a price, but it will change the world for the better, and will lead to a more peaceful and safer tommorrow.

but when that day comes, and if we did our jobs right, when we leave the free and peaceful Iraqi people will cry tears of appreciation for our help, their hearts will be filled with Joy for their future and they will remember us always in their hearts.

Unless they're like the French.

Shalom.
