A sad anniversary, today is 5 years of “Mission Accomplished,” the symbol that shows the Bush Administration and the Iraq policy. I WILL ALWAYS SUPPORT OUR Troops, but I am confused about the stunt, Iraq and the relevance.
Here is the official White House comment from an Associated Press Video Feed about the Anniversary,
It is tragic that this is a devastating example of arrogance. The US Military deserves better. I just do not understand why We are there, and what we hoped to accomplish. I thought that we were against nation building and that is why I voted for President Bush 8 years ago. It saddens me to think of 9/11, but we have not evolved and moved forward. Military people are coming home shattered, and what do we show them? We do not take care of our veterans.
The surge is positive, but we have not really turned the corner. We have not held others accountable. We have not held the Iraqi’s accountable and accountable for their government. Keith Olbermann has a piece that illustrates some of the feeling that I am feeling. It is insightful ( which is a rarity for Keith Olbermann, or Pissy Oldermann).
We deserve answers and we deserve better.
