Congratulations to the lads.

I know it's a bit premature, but I just wanted to congratulate all the lads (and lasses) of the armed forces in doing such a great job so far in this conflict. That goes for the U.S.A as well. I believe (and I'm not trying to be an armchair general), that they've done an amazing job in bringing the war to this stage in such a short amount of time.

I'm not going to pretend I am a great fan of either Blair or Bush, but I must admit I think they've done their jobs superbly, and have proved that they were right. I can't believe how happy the Iraqis looked on TV.

I wanted to wish all the troops good luck in the coming days/weeks as things continue, and hope they can return soon.
