President George W. Bush delivers remarks on the Global War on Terror during a visit Wednesday, March 19, 2008, to the Pentagon. In addressing representatives from each branch of the military -- including some who served in the theater at the beginning of Operation Iraqi Freedom, the President said, "Five years into this battle, there is an understandable debate over whether the war was worth fighting, whether the fight is worth winning, and whether we can win it. The answers are clear to me: Removing Saddam Hussein from power was the right decision -- and this is a fight America can and must win." White House photo by Eric Draper
