Victory
We officially won Operation Iraqi Freedom tonight as Saddam Hussein is hanging somewhere in Baghdad. Tried by his own people, he was convicted of the genocide of the Kurds in Northern Iraq and put to death tonight.
Iraqi TV said the execution took place just before 0600 local time (0300GMT).
Saddam Hussein was sentenced to death by an Iraqi court on 5 November after a year-long trial over the 1982 killings of 148 Shias in the town of Dujail.
Two co-defendants, Saddam Hussein's half-brother Barzan al-Tikriti and former Iraqi chief judge Awad Hamed al-Bandar, were also executed.
The left is going to say we aren't winning the war. That we've lost it, that we need to cut and run.
Reality says something different. We won. We eliminated a ruthless dictator that could kill of his own people at a whim. The Iraqis have a new government, courts and military and a new constitution written by Iraqis.
We won. We completed all of the objectives. Victory is at hand.
