I'm not exactly a liberal but agree with Stevepaa. And yes, I spent four years in the USAF during that fiasco called Vietnam which got 60K GI's killed for nothing.... not to mention the tens of thousands mained.

As an aside, we'd really rather not pay our hard earned money so crack addicted welfare moms can have more babies while the forces of tyranny and evil advance unchecked throughout the globe.(I half expect you'll deny this...but there ARE evil folks out there, and they'd like very much to saw your living head off if they could only get their hands on you).

Yes, the neo-cons cut taxes and social programs. Unfortunately they neglected to cut spending anywhere else and went on a porkfest like no one has ever seen. Remember the $250M bridge to nowhere. And the war-profiteering going on with KBR, Halliburton with thier cost plus no-bid contracts is mind-boggling (but Cheney loves it).

PS: "Mission Accomplished", while a politically foolish ploy, was also at the time factually correct, as the ceremony was in commemoration of the successful toppling of the Iraqi regime.

And that's the whole problem in Iraq... Larry, Curley and Moe (aka GWB, Cheney and Rummsfeld) made no plans whatsoever for the aftermath of Saddam's fall... You remember, we would be greeted as liberators, oil would pay the reconstructions costs, etc. etc. Happy days are here again.....
