By May 1, 2003 A.D., the [[United States]] had succeeded at the first goal and had Hussein executed; the second goal was rendered irrelevant, and the third goal was largely successful (as the Iraqi people are now free of Hussein.) President Bush celebrated this victory by declaring "Mission Accomplished" on the [[battleship]] U.S.S. Abraham Lincoln.
