I am not sure if this is the information you are looking for but . . . the following is an extract from a speech made by President George W Bush in August 2006 at the Bob Corker for Senate and Tennessee Republican Party Dinner.

"And now the central front in the war on terror, the central front in this struggle to protect ourselves is Iraq. You know, amazing things have happened in Iraq, when you think about it. Oh, I know the news is full with terrible suiciders, and it shakes our will. I know that. It's troubling for many of our citizens, no matter what their political party is. But that's what the enemy wants. They want to trouble us. They're willing to take innocent life to cause us to forget our mission and purpose and the calling of this in the 21st century.

But when you really think about it, amazing progress has been made. Twelve million people went to the polls. These are people who had just recently lived under the thumb of a brutal tyrant who killed hundreds of thousands of his own people. And yet, when given a chance, these Iraqis said, we want to be free; we want to self-govern; we want a government of and by and for the people. And since then a government has been formed, a unity government, headed by a good man named Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki."

Nouri al-Maliki, was Prime Minister of Iraq but stepped down in August 2014. he was apparently unpopular with certain factions e.g. Sunnis, Kurds and some Shia Muslims.
