FORT HOOD, Tex., April 12 -- President Bush on Tuesday praised soldiers stationed at the largest U.S. military base for their service in Iraq, saying the 146 soldiers from here who died and many more who were injured made sacrifices for the worthy causes of liberating a nation, diminishing the threat of terrorism and spreading democracy in the Middle East.
An audience of 25,000 soldiers, some recently returned from Iraq and others soon to ship out for a first or second tour, gathered under a spring sun to listen, politely and often quietly, to Bush compare their efforts toppling Saddam Hussein's statue in Baghdad to the fall of the Berlin Wall. It was, Bush said, "one of the great moments in the history of liberty."
The president, greeted by flag-waving soldiers, many accompanied by wives and children, was here to mark the two-year anniversary of the liberation of Baghdad this past weekend. Bush delivered what has become a fairly standard speech about what the military is accomplishing in Iraq and why, he says, the effort will go down in history as a turning point in the twin campaigns to preemptively fight terrorism and spread democracy in the Middle East.
"You are making possible the peace of Iraq, and you are making possible the security of free nations," he said. ". . . The establishment of a free Iraq at the heart of the Middle East will be a crushing defeat to the forces of tyranny and terror, and a watershed event in the global democratic revolution."
