Three Years Later
On the third anniversary of the beginning of the Iraq War, we remember with pride, gratitude every soldier who has made America safer and liberated Iraq.
The Boston Herald sets out the progress made in a country that was once under the hob-nailed boot of Saddam Hussein:
*Some 130 Iraqi battalions are now in the fight, 60 in the lead.
*Iraqi units have primary responsibility for more than 30,000 square miles of Iraq.
*Iraqis are conducting more independent operations throughout the country than coalition forces.
*Iraqi forces negotiated with and dispersed angry mobs after the attack on the Golden Mosque of Samarra.
There are difficulties and challenges still to be confronted and overcome. The Bush Administration has indisputably, in retrospect, made mistakes in the execution of a victory strategy. And every American life lost has been one too many.
But as the American people weigh the war, its costs and benefits, it's worth remembering that there is now only one choice before us: Whether we will stay the course and finish the job, or embolden the Islamofascist terrorists by heeding the voices of defeat and retreat here at home.
Donald Rumsfeld explains it all for you.

Unfortunately, no matter who is saying what is really going on, what the state of our progress is, there will be those who CHOOSE to disbelieve and instead parrot the defeatest line, that we are losing. I feel sorry for these people and their irrational hatred for Bush, which drives their every thought. I feel even more sorry for the rest of us, who must endure their Bush hating, which is detrimental to national security.
