Bush Says War in Iraq Almost Won

President Bush declared Saturday that the war in Iraq is on its way to being won. The Iraq security pact agreed to will see 150,000 troops out by 2011. With violence down most people in Iraq and the United States are wanting troops levels to be decreased.

“Only a few years ago, such an agreement was unimaginable,” Bush said. “Chaos and violence were consuming Iraq. Terrorists were seizing new ground and using violence to divide the Iraqi people along sectarian lines. And the nation was nearing the point of political collapse and civil war.”

“Thousands of our finest citizens have given their lives to make our country safer and bring us to this new day. The war in Iraq is not yet over, but thanks to these agreements and the courage of our men and women in Iraq, it is decisively on its way to being won.”
