It is good to see that Sunni Arabs have joined the political process in Iraq. I think it is also significant to note that Iraqi forces freed the Australian hostage with the cooperation of some coalition units.
So, Iraqis are making progress in forming their own government and the Iraqi military is gaining its own feet and becoming capable of handling its own missions. It is a good thing that is happening in Iraq. I’m proud to have played a part and, to be honest, I hope I get the chance to go over again.
