Two and a half years after the fall of Saddam Hussein, despite the continuing bombings and murders, despite a declared war by al-Qaeda, despite the pessimism, defeatism and persistent lying of the American left, despite meager help from the UN and the “international community,” despite even the opposition of France: Iraq becomes the first constitutional democracy in the Arab middle-east. Hearty congratulations are due to the Iraqi people, and an unpayable debt of gratitude is owed to the U.S. Army, Marines, Navy and Air Force, as well as the armed forces of America’s staunch allies. Promises made, and promises kept.

Yet another mission accomplished.
