Gratitude and appreciation for a job well
done
We owe a debt of gratitude to the troops in
Iraq, American, British, Australian, Polish and all the rest, for
their contribution to yesterday's election. I know some fellows
who've been over there, and the next time I see them, I'll let them
know how I appreciate what they've done. The Iraqis' releasing
their pent up desire for controlling their own lives was only
possible because of the hard work of our Army, Marines, Air Force
and Navy. Their mission was to fortify, not undermine, the
beginnings of a civil society, and it deserves to be said 'Mission
accomplished.'
