Mission Accomplished Anniversary - 3 years on May 1, 2006

On May 1, it will be the third anniversary of President Bush's "Mission Accomplished" celebration.


US Dead 5/1/03: 65
US Dead Today: 2,397

US Wounded 5/1/03: 542
US Wounded Today: 17,469


I think we all need this stark reminder of just how badly this administration miscalculated, how it threw our young men and women into war so recklessly that it had no idea of the actual mission.

As importantly, we have to ask ourselves: If they have gotten virtually everything wrong thus far, why should we think they will do better in the future?

This isn't about politics. It's about competence. It's about lives.

Go figure, liberals memorialize a sham concocted in their local witch's union. Just like the lie that Bush stole the election, just like the lie that Bush lied, and now this insinuated false bill of leftist goods. This "Mission Accomplished" leftist monkey feces tossing is simply another piece of leftist turd that they must keep reconstituted to feed to their **** eating minions.

That unit's mission WAS accomplished.

I don't see how you can state the truth and find that it means something that it obviously doesn't. That explains it, doesn't it?...That explains liberalism and the Democrat mind.

The same thing happened when the AP released that video tape of Michael Brown; they intended to do him and Bush damage, telling the audience that it proved Bush knew the levees would be breeched, but under naked eye analysis it did nothing but exonerate Bush/Brown....The media just sort of faded off into the distance and forgot their collective feet were in their big mouths.

I do. I'm sure the families of the fallen care, as do those men and women maimed for life.

...we are there to prserve our way of life and to show the little Sand N@%%$^S whose the BOSS of the world..

No, we are not. We are there because of the imminent threat posed by Saddam's WMD. Since they have the oil, and since we are bogged down in a no win situation, I don't think we have done anything but expose our weaknesses for all to see.

Liberals are such fking punkfa99ots always crying when somebody falls down and has a boo boo....If we only had more govt ...

Not more government. You never heard me say that. More competent government.

perhaps in our lifetime, somebody with Balz will take a stand and bring King George and his cronies to justice, for all the death and destruction they have caused....

until then, the only hope we have of King George's impeachment is if someone gives him a blowjob.

If 'king george' is as bad as ya'll have been crying about, it should be easy to find some actual evidence and impeach. Until then, you look like little crybabies.

here's some more non-sense for you butt-monkeys:

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. war on terrorism has made the world safer, the State Department's counterterrorism chief said on Friday, despite more than 11,000 terrorist attacks worldwide last year that killed 14,600 people.

Am I the only one who thinks that mission accomplished means that we completed the job of defeating the Iraqi military and taking military control of the country? Oh never mind, I honestly could care less if a lefty is still foaming at the mouth over this.

No matter left, right, or center. The loss of lives is a very personal thing to every family that it has touched. And STILL some of you make it into an "American us" vs. "American (but traitorous, evil and worse) them"

Mul...You talk a good talk, but have done NOTHING to better the situation.

You need to attend a meeting.

Some of you on both sides should actually read what you type and try to justify it in terms of being a member of the human race.

SoCal....True believers cannot ever admit they were in any way, shape or matter, mistaken, in error, or screwed up. It would be UnAmerican(?) to do so. Perhaps human, but unAmerican(?). (Waiting for a rational explanation of "unAmerican", "left", "Fascist", "traitor".....Haven't received my Ann Coultier dictionary yet....That is for you, bryan, Enjoy!! )

Tim..I agree. It is unfortunate that it ever happened..It was an embarassement to the President, fodder for his detractors, and a constant reminder that it really wasn't over....

War is like wiping your butt....The job ain't done until the paperwork is finished.

NUTS.

This place gets stranger and stranger....the inmates are finally in charge of the asylum....

no..

It was a military moment that turned into Bush hater's rhetoric. It became a bad political situation before he was flown home.
