LT Nixon is leaving Baghdad for the US. He plans to keep blogging once he is settled in the US but won't be posting much for a couple of weeks due to the relocation. Today he posts concluding thoughts - for his readers, for lefty bloggers, for right-winger bloggers, for the troops, and for the Iraqi people.Here is LT Nixon's message to the Iraqi people:
I wish you the best for your country. I can't imagine what it's like to have a genocidal dictator like Saddam followed by 5 years of chaos and confusion in post-invasion Iraq. Please know that those in the coalition only want to help you, but some egregious decisions were made in 2003 (de-ba'athification, disbanding the Army, etc.). I hope our current mission has helped kick out the Takfiris and weakened the militia thugs. While my words may ring hallow, please know that I hope your country becomes prosperous and you have a better life.
