President Obama would never\u00a0give this\u00a0speech\u00a0– but imagine this speech on the announcement that the war in Iraq is over.<\/p>\n
“Good evening, fellow Americans,<\/p>\n
Almost a decade ago, as a younger man in the Illinois Senate, I spoke out against the war in Iraq, saying it was\u00a0a stupid war that we should never have become involved in.<\/p>\n
I was wrong.<\/p>\n
There are many things you only learn about after you become President of the United States – matters too senstive to discuss in public.\u00a0\u00a0 President Bush did what he believed was right, and\u00a0now from\u00a0inside the White House, it is clear\u00a0 why\u00a0President Bush\u00a0thought the Iraq war was necessary,<\/p>\n
As we now bring home the last of our troops, leaving behind a freely elected Democratic government, I want to thank President Bush for standing by what he believed, and thank all of the men and women of the Armed Services and their families – honoring them today for the personal sacrifices they\u00a0have made \u00a0doing what they and their leaders believed needed to be done.<\/p>\n
The war in Iraq is over, Osama Bin Laden is dead.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 While we should never celebrate having to go to war,\u00a0 we can feel proud today as Americans for what we did in Iraq.<\/p>\n
America will always have enemies, but this chapter is now ended.\u00a0 Enjoy your Christmas holiday and let’s start working together in 2012 to get the economy of this country back on track and our friends and family back to work.<\/p>\n
Good Night and God Bless America.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
