6. May 2, 2003 - 'Bush calls end to 'major combat'

http://www.cnn.com/2003/WORLD/meast/05/01/sprj.irq.main/

ABOARD USS ABRAHAM LINCOLN (CNN) -- From the flight deck of the USS Abraham Lincoln, President Bush announced in a nationally televised address that "major combat operations in Iraq have ended."

"In this battle, we have fought for the cause of liberty, and for the peace of the world. Our nation and our coalition are proud of this accomplishment," Bush told the Navy men and women aboard the warship Thursday. (Transcript)

Bush also made a direct connection between the war in Iraq and the continuing war on terrorism.

"The battle of Iraq is one victory in a war on terror that began on September 11, 2001, and still goes on," Bush said. He then highlighted successes in Afghanistan, citing the construction of roads, hospitals and schools.



just fucking once, I'd like the President of the United States to say something that was truthful.

to deflect from poll numbers and to provide the "Don't criticize the President while we are at war" routine.
