NEW IRAQ TRANSITION: BUSH COMMENDS LEADERSHIP AND COALITION
J. Grant Swank, Jr.
United States President George W. Bush continues to encourage both the US-led Coalition and Iraqi leadership in the transition period.
In speaking to soldiers at Fort Hood, Texas, Mr. Bush underlined the sacrifice provided by servicemembers since Operation Iraqi Freedom’s three-week-win war just a little over two years ago. That was superintended by US Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld.
Both the President the Defense Secretary have kept the patience in freedom spreads not only in Iraq but also Afghanistan. This has led to citizens clamoring for liberties at grassroots in other countries ruled by despots. The Ukraine democracy base is present-tense example extraordinary. Now citizens in Iran continue the demand for their own liberties realized. Egypt promises a democratic election forthcoming.
Mr. Bush stated that the New Iraq leadership is presently "entering a new phase." That includes Iraqi security and newly elected officials taking more responsibilities while the US-led Coalition expects eventually to phase out its overarching presence, according to the Associated Press.
"’America and its coalition partners are increasingly playing more of a supporting role,’ Bush said. ‘Like free people everywhere, Iraqis want to be defended and led by their own countrymen. We will help them achieve that objective so Iraqis can secure their own nation. And then our troops will come home with the honor they have earned.’"
The anti-Bush cry coming from those liberals in America as well as pro-killers international in New Iraq call for the Coalition to fold up rank and leave yesterday. Of course, that makes no sense whatsoever. It’s a matter of keeping the patience and the timing, something the President has maintained in both his first and second terms.
To leave New Iraq prematurely would spell doom for democracy planting. A country previously ruled by a bloody dictator cannot move overnight into freedoms realized at grassroots. Therefore, much credit is due those in many areas who have mentored Iraqis in military, economics, politics and commerce. Their number is legion. They work day and night, mostly without fanfare.
Surely the liberal mainline press does little in providing these committed laborers with coverage let alone encouragement. The least setback of course receives immediate liberal media focus; but the ongoing progress receives scant attention. Such is the appreciative heart of the freedom of the press in America!
Why is it that those enjoying their well-paying jobs in the American press don’t realize that if the freedom spread does not continue, killers international will rob the United States of its freedom of the press. Those now collecting their well-heeled salary checks will then be begging at the murderers’ trough.
Mr. Bush continued to accent that which needs underlining in this unbelievable freedom-launching journey throughout the planet. He lauded the brave men and women who have given their lives for the cause. He thanked the cooperating free nations who have done their part in establishing freedoms elsewhere.
He then centered in on the toppling of a horrific despot — Saddam Hussein. In his speech to the soldiers, the President likened the fall of Hussein’s statue in Baghdad to the fall of the Berlin Wall. He referred to it as "one of the great moments in the history of liberty.’
So it was. Does the free world so quickly forget? Or will the free world come upon the wisdom of remembering that which has been accomplished under the banner of liberty?
Thank you, Mr. President.
