Why don't you ask yourself these questions, Scooter:
How many American Troops were killed in Iraq up until the "Mission Accomplished" moment? How many troops were killed afterwards?
How many Iraqis were killed before that moment? How many after?
How many billions of dollars were spent on the Iraq War before that moment? How many after?
These are simple questions that lead to simple answers. Once you answer them honestly, you'll see how wrong you are.
Since you're a simple person here's a simple response.
Only a dumb-fuck fell for that "Mission Accomplished" angle the press used to discredit Bush. The sign in question was intended to thank the sailors of that carrier for a job well done after a long deployment. A very long deployment. They accomplished their mission.
For your information a "Mission" is on single operation usually only a small part of a larger military action that is conducted during a "Battle". There are usually several missions underway from various elements in any "Battle". There are several "Battles" during every "WAR". So a single mission was being celebrated with that sign, not the entire Iraq War.
Too bad you didn't catch that simple fact.
The mission in question was not a benchmark in the total operation. Bush felt like thanking the men and women on that ship and that battle group.....and he did it in impressive fashion. I knew the F'n Democrats hated every moment of it. So they set out to lie about it and began turning the public against the war.
Damn them. Every single one of them deserves to burn in hell for it. Imagine the costs their actions caused...the lives lost because they practically supported the enemy. Obama and anyone else who said the war was lost....a total failure..., deserves the same treatment. Harry Reid, Jack Murtha, Ted Kennedy, John Kerry, Nancy Pelosi, Dick Durbin, and Barrack Obama.
I'd like to kick them all so hard in the ass they taste Kiwi for a month.
You keep posting the same nonsense thinking someone, somehow ...will believe it
Yet, while standing under the "Mission Accomplished" sign....Bush said
Major combat operations in Iraq have ended. In the battle of Iraq, the United States and our allies have prevailed." President Bush, standing under a "Mission Accomplished" banner on the USS Lincoln aircraft carrier, May 2, 2003
He said nothing about part of the mission being accomplished, he did not say he was referring to the carriers mission......He said "Major combat operations have ended" not that we still had 4000 more soldiers to die, not that we still had seven more years to go, not that the political situation was a disaster.
He said "The US and our allies had prevailed" and everyone knows they hadn't
"The transition from dictatorship to democracy will take time, but it is worth every effort. Our coalition will stay until our work is done and then we will leave and we will leave behind a free Iraq.
The battle of Iraq is one victory in a war on terror that began on September the 11th, 2001 and still goes on."
