Mission Accomplished?

It is the FOURTH anniversary of Bush's mission accomplished speech and with it comes a presidential promise to veto the Iraq funding bill that will pass through congress. The bill would order that troops begin leaving Iraq by October 1st of this year but will doubtfully get the 2/3 majority needed to override the expected veto.
In fairness to the President I agree that we must view the war in Iraq as two wars: the fist, which entailed taking Saddam's regime out of power, was a quick success but the second, constructing a predominately western democratic regime that would have at least of inkling of stability, has and will be a failure. This reconstruction should be handled either multilaterally (working intensely with and in the interest of the people of Iraq) or unilaterally, with the people of Iraq taking full control of stabilizing a regime. What makes us more capable then them? It is merely an elitist notion that they are incapable of handling this situation as well (if not better) than the U.S..
