Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al Maliki: We’ve Defeated The Terrorists
How terribly inconvenient for Barack Obama and the rest of the Iraq war defeatists.
“They [the terrorists] were intending to besiege Baghdad and control it,” al-Maliki said. “But thanks to the will of the tribes, security forces, army and all Iraqis, we defeated them.”
He was speaking at ceremonies marking the fifth anniversary of the assassination in 2003 of Ayatollah Mohammed Baqir al-Hakim, a leading opponent of Saddam Hussein who was killed in a truck bombing in Najaf after returning from exile in Iran.
What will the liberals do if our troops end up leaving Iraq a relatively stable country (compared to the rest of the middle east and what it was before) with a representative government?
