Eisboch Anyway, twist and turn Let's let the man speak for himself... "Major combat operations in Iraq have ended. In the battle of Iraq, the United States and our allies have prevailed." —speaking underneath a "Mission Accomplished" banner aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln, May 1, 2003 Were the rest of combat operations in Iraq non-major? That's not my impression nor do I believe that most soldiers that did 3 or 4 tours over there would subscribe to that notion. Was the "surge" a minor operation? Why did we need the surge since the US and allies had prevailed? We're arguing over a small point. What comes to light is how stupid Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz, Pearl and the rest of the neocons were about the eventual depth of their misadventure. No one arguing against Bush needs to twist, he's done it all for us. |
