Bush - US "will stay in the fight until the fight is won."

On the first anniversary of transferring power from the coalition forces to the Iraq interim government, President Bush gave the words most Americans have been waiting to hear. He stated that there will no timetable for withdrawal. He also stated that as the Iraqis stand up, we will stand done. He named the insurgents for what they are, ruthless killers committing savage acts of violence. But the main thrust of his words were that we would stay until the job is done. Yahoo News

President Bush's words are clear. That is what I have grown to like about him. I have to admit, I did not vote for him or Al Gore in 2000. In an insane moment, I voted for Ralph Nadar. I did not trust Bush and despised Gore. My change of heart over Bush came after 9-11. He did and is doing what is needed to fight the War on Terrorism. The US still faces the threat of another terrorist attack. His words tonight show that he is still committed to the WOT. He is committed to ensuring that we finish the job in Iraq. And by saying no to any timetable for leaving Iraq, he has reassured the US Armed Forces who are serving there that they will be allowed to finish their job. A job which they have been doing extraordinarily well. He has also reassured the Iraqi government that we are committed. This is good news, as the Iraqis will produce a draft of their constitution on August 15.

To all who serve, America is behind you and thank you.
