5th anniversary of “Mission Accomplished”
Today is the 5th anniversary of the photo-op of President Bush standing on an aircraft carrier’s deck in front of a star-spangled banner declaring “Mission Accomplished” in Iraq. Since that time, thousands of US and Iraqi lives have been lost and the Republican’s candidate shows no sign of wanting to change the occupation of that country.
The Democrats however have the opportunity of nominating a candidate who has consistently opposed the war, or they can nominate Hillary Clinton. Clinton knows how fundamental this choice could be, so has lied about Obama in an attempt to muddy the clear blue waters which divide them on this issue. Lied is a strong word, but one we have had to use in the past with Senator Clinton, so before the brickbats fly let’s recap on Hillary’s Iraq problem:
I’m grateful to The Jed Report for creating this video, entitled Hillary Clinton: War, Lies, and Misjudgement.
We leave the final word to Hillary Clinton herself:
If the most important thing to any of you is choosing someone who did not cast that vote or has said his vote was a mistake, then there are others to choose from.
