Happy “Mission Accomplished” day. Three years ago, the President of the United States had the following to say from the deck of the USS Abraham Lincoln:
Admiral Kelly, Captain Card, officers and sailors of the USS Abraham Lincoln, my fellow Americans: Major combat operations in Iraq have ended. In the Battle of Iraq, the United States and our allies have prevailed. And now our coalition is engaged in securing and reconstructing that country.
The body count would seem to disagree with this rather optimistic assessment, but hindsight is 20/20.

Sorry about the formatting there; the ‘page break’ functionality appears to be kaput.
