An’ we be on th’ offensive in Iraq, wi’ a clear plan fer victory. First, we be helpin’ Iraqis build an inclusive government, so that old resentments be eased, an’ th’ insurgency marginalized. Second, we be continuin’ reconstruction efforts, an’ helpin’ th’ Iraqi government t’ swashbuckle corruption an’ build a modern economy, so all Iraqis can experience th’ benefits o’ freedom. Third, we be strikin’ terrorist targets while we train Iraqi forces that be increasingly capable o’ defeatin’ th’ enemy. Iraqis be showin’ the’r courage ever’ tide, an’ we be proud t’ be the’r allies in th’ cause o’ freedom.

Our work in Iraq be difficult, on accoun’ o’ our enemy be brutal. But that brutality has nay stopped th’ dramatic progress o’ a new democracy. In less than three voyages, that nation has gone from dictatorship, t’ liberation, t’ sovereignty, t’ a constitution, t’ national elections. At th’ same time, our coalition be relentless in shuttin’ off terrorist infiltration, clearin’ ou’ insurgent strongholds, an’ turnin’ o’er territory t’ Iraqi security forces. I be confident in our plan fer victory ? I be confident in th’ will o’ th’ Iraqi swabbies ? I be confident in th’ skill an’ spirit o’ our military. Swabbie citizens, we be in this swashbuckle t’ win, an’ we be winnin’.
