President Bush declared last week that the formation of a new cabinet in Iraq marked a "turning point" and a "watershed event" -- the latest of many he has detected in the last three years:
"Now that we have reached this important milestone, I urge the nations of the world to contribute, militarily and financially, towards fulfilling Security Council Resolution 1483's vision of a free and secure Iraq."
-- July 23, 2003,
after the formation of
the interim Governing Council
"Today, as Iraqis join the free peoples of the world, we mark a turning point for the Middle East and a crucial advance for human liberty."
-- March 19, 2004,
marking the anniversary
of the U.S.-led invasion
"A turning point will come in less than two weeks. On June the 30th, full sovereignty will be transferred to the interim government. The Coalition Provisional Authority will cease to exist."
