general stacy clarity is director of operations from the marine corps. he ll soon be commanding the third marine division from okinawa japan. i think i owe something, i owe something to the country and i owe something to the corps and sailors and the marines. ten years ago, then lieutenant clarity led the battalion and a thousand young marines into iraq. we re doing fine and kicking ass and taking names. at his office in the pentagon i asked the general about criticisms of the war. i think we left iraq better than we found it. i m proud of that. the iraqis are in control of their own destiny which was not true at the time. they have been able to take what we ve given them and they can determine where they want to go in the future. and that certainly wasn t true with saddam hussein.
