On the fifth anniversary of our invasion of Iraq, the United States has finally secured victory in the War on Terror. President George W. Bush declared today in a speech at the Pentagon (yet another friendly audience.)
"The surge has done more than turn the situation in Iraq around — it has opened the door to a major strategic victory in the broader war on terror."
Four years and three months after His fly-in "Mission Accomplished" speech, our Commander in Chief remarked;
"In Iraq, we are witnessing the first large-scale Arab uprising against Osama Bin Laden. And the significance of this development cannot be overstated."
Halfway around the planet, the guy really in charge, Vice President Dick Cheney, was cutting secret deals with leaders in the Iraqi government that will last well beyond the influence of the Neo-con administration.
Meanwhile in Iraq, a female suicide bomber killed six people at a bus station in Balad Ruz in Diyala province, according to Iraqi police. And near the northern city of Kirkuk, US troops shot dead three Iraqi policemen by mistake, an incident officials described as "a tragic accident, which was sincerely regretted."
Happy Anniversary!
