One, two, three…

…kick!

Darcy's turn…
...I want to be clear about something: our troops have done everything we have asked them to do, and they have done it with courage and a willingness to sacrifice on behalf of the greater good that puts nearly all of the rest of us to shame in comparison.

We asked them to topple a brutal dictatorship, and they did it faster than anyone believed possible.

We asked them to secure the nation and make sure there were no weapons of mass destruction, and they did that.

We asked them to keep the peace while the Iraqis formed an interim government and negotiated a constitution, and they did that.

We asked them to hold back an increasingly violent insurgency while Iraqis held another election, and they did that.

And now, they are there waiting...
From the widely recommended Slog Q&A (quite a scroll down by now).
