We've thrown out Saddam and Saddam, dead or alive, is finished in Iraq.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
In liberating Iraq, we have rid the nation and the rest of the world from the danger of Saddam Hussein.
Iraq is falling apart.
As far as Iraq, the important thing is that the Taliban is gone in Afghanistan, three-quarters of the al-Qaida leadership is either dead or in jail, and we now have Saudi Arabia working with us, Pakistan working with us.
We are running out of time. We need a strategy to win in Iraq or an exit strategy to leave.
The world is a better place with Saddam Hussein gone.
The kind of Iraq that emerges from all of this is ultimately out of our hands.
As much as we might look for opportunities to keep Iraq together, we need to be prepared for the reality that it's not going to stay together.
Whether weapons exist in Iraq, Saddam Hussein or post-Saddam Hussein, it is a serious enough issue that require that we continue to go and make sure that Iraq does not have weapons.
I believe, if done correctly, eliminating Saddam and liberating Iraq could be the 'Normandy Invasion' or 'fall of the Berlin Wall' of our generation... the Iraqi people are eager to be rid of Saddam, and there is equally encouraging evidence that republican principles could thrive there.
We are not going to abandon Iraq.
