Today thousands of Iraqi citizens participated in a free and democratic election. Women voted as well as men. Sunnis voted as well as Shi’ites and Kurds. This would not have been possible without our nation’s 43rd President. And although many have the right to criticize him and celebrate the coming of our 44th, I would assert that few mitigate the perceived failures of Bush’s presidency with some of his great successes.
He’ll never admit it, but I’m sure George W. Bush is smiling today.
