Jacob, the speech was just empty slogans. It may impress some people for a day or two. Unfortunately the killings in Iraq will continue. Actually, they'll continue with or without US occupation. Though wedding massacres will likely not occur after the US leaves. But plenty of other killings will go on for years until a new dictator consolidates power.

Quite likely, even after the US troops leaves, if a strong central government emerges, the US will continue funding terrorists in Iraq to make difficulties for the central government.

The US agenda, which is Israel's agenda is that Iraq becomes either

1- friendly to Israel,

or

2- too fragmented and pre-occupied to help Palestinians in any way.

The removal of Saddam Hussein is just the first step. The long-term neutralizing of Iraq as an Arab country will go on with covert funds to whoever is willing to be a terrorist for dollars and weaken an independent Iraqi government. As the US did in Afghanistan, to weaken the pro-Soviet government that preceded the Taliban. That fire will continue burning for a long time.
