Kindly enlighten us, and put this quote in its proper context.
Gosh, how could I have possibly thought that our President was saying that in the battle of Iraq, the United States and our allies had prevailed? I feel like a real fool.

That is really quite simple. As you well know, when the statement was made...the only "battle of Iraq" was with the government of Iraq. The government of Iraq was soundly defeated, its leadership has been removed and jailed, and a new democratic government is in its place. Iraq is now our ally and we both fight an entirely different foe.

Some are born free. Some have freedom thrust upon them. Others simply surrender
