Mission Accomplished

On or about 2200 hours EST 29 December 2006, Iraqi courts carried out sentence and executed Saddam Hussein and two conspirators. Mission accomplished. Unreported by the mainstream media, the military objectives of Operation Iraqi Freedom consisted of:

• First, ending the regime of Saddam Hussein.
• Second, to identify, isolate and eliminate, Iraq's weapons of mass destruction.
• Third, to search for, to capture and to drive out terrorists from the country.
• Fourth, to collect intelligence related to terrorist networks.
• Fifth, to collect such intelligence as is related to the global network of illicit weapons of mass destruction.
• Sixth, to end sanctions and to immediately deliver humanitarian support to the displaced and to many needed citizens.
• Seventh, to secure Iraq's oil fields and resources, which belong to the Iraqi people.
• Eighth, to help the Iraqi people create conditions for a transition to a representative self-government

Despite a massive propaganda campaign to the contrary by the media both here and in Iraq, judging from the stated goals above, it looks like we're not only winning, but we have all but won. And contrary to the Iraq Study [Surrender] Group's published reports, newly declassified documentary evidence indicates that Iraq and Hussein had links to Al Qaeda and the Taliban prior to the September 11 attacks on the World Trade Centers.

The United States did the right thing by removing Saddam Hussein, freeing millions of Iraqi people, and initiating a program to instill democracy in the middle east. We're the good guys, and if the 110th congress doesn't arbitrarily surrender to the secular terrorists, we will win this conflict.
