“Shock and Awe” - 5 years later
Today marks the fifth anniversary of The Big Mistake™. (Take the left tunnel, Indy!)
And naturally, Worst President Ever had some “thoughts” on the subject:
Because we acted, Saddam Hussein no longer fills fields with the remains of innocent men, women and children. Because we acted, Saddam’s torture chambers and rape rooms and children’s prisons have been closed for good. Because we acted, Saddam’s regime is no longer invading its neighbors or attacking them with chemical weapons and ballistic missiles. Because we acted, Saddam’s regime is no longer paying the families of suicide bombers in the Holy Land. Because we acted, Saddam’s regime is no longer shooting at American and British aircraft patrolling the no-fly zones and defying the will of the United Nations. Because we acted, the world is better and United States of America is safer.
Stubborn as always, he’s just as delusional as he was when he launched this quagmire:
Our nation enters this conflict reluctantly — yet, our purpose is sure. The people of the United States and our friends and allies will not live at the mercy of an outlaw regime that threatens the peace with weapons of mass murder. We will meet that threat now, with our Army, Air Force, Navy, Coast Guard and Marines, so that we do not have to meet it later with armies of fire fighters and police and doctors on the streets of our cities.
By the way, this is the same war that Sen. McSame thinks is just so awesome and wants to continue “To Infinity…and Beyond!”…or at least through 2108.:
“We are succeeding. And we can succeed, and American casualties overall are way down,” McCain told CNN in an interview during his one-day visit.
McCain also criticized the position of the Democratic presidential contenders, who favor withdrawing more U.S. troops from Iraq. “I just think what that means is Al Qaeda wins. They tell the world that. And we fight here again and around the Middle East,” McCain told the cable channel ahead of his departure for Israel and Europe.
Meanwhile, Darth Cheney tells the 66% of Americans who think this war wasn’t worth it to go fuck themselves:
[ABC News White House correspondent Martha] RADDATZ: Two-thirds of Americans say it’s not worth fighting.
CHENEY: So?
RADDATZ: So? You don’t care what the American people think?
CHENEY: No. I think you cannot be blown off course by the fluctuations in the public opinion polls.
No word yet on whether or not Cheney has sent out hunting invitations to the two-thirds of his employers who don’t approve of the war.
And while we’re at it, why is that the Dirty Fucking Hippies™ that the “librul” media dismissed out-of-hand as Unserious™, Shrill™ Far-Left Loons™ back when this whole thing started were so totally right about the war? And why does the “librul” media still dismiss them out-of-hand as Unserious™, Shrill™ Far-Left Loons™?
