War in Iraq—Who won the war?
This is part of the first sentence of a front page story in the Peoria Journal Star on September 1, 2010, page 1: “Claiming no victory, President Barack Obama formally ended the U.S. combat role in Iraq ….” As usual, the President is wrong. The U.S. won the war.

While the Obama Administration today is seeking to take credit for ‘ending the combat mission’ in Iraq, the video credits our troops and their families, whose hard work, sacrifice, and unwavering dedication have helped transform Iraq from a once volatile threat to a nascent democracy and a key ally of the United States.
