On the day that Congress finally gets its act together and succeeds in impeaching Dubya and removing him from office — something which doesn’t look as if it’s going to happen any time soon, and time is running out — then it will be fitting to post that banner, but not until then. Letting the clock run out on Dubya’s last term as President ain’t exactly “MISSION ACCOMPLISHED” — it’s more like a white flag of surrender.

Actually, if anything, Dubya could drape a “MISSION ACCOMPLISHED” banner across the front of the White House on his last day in office and finally have it reflect the truth — as in, “I drove this country right into the ground AND I GOT AWAY WITH IT”…

McFish on deck!

They are the true enemy of America.

I hope the new GOP direction involves less spending and better budget control, less bigotry, more liberty and possibly new candidates that look like the anchorettes on Fox.

McCain is a sacrificial lamb, well hawk actually. The GOP knows this election is lost so they “reward” McCain with the nomination. He ties himself to Bush and “takes one for the team”. Then, following their crushing humiliation, the GOP will announce a “new direction” and set themselves up for 2012. This way they make a pretense of contesting the election and rid themselves of the loose cannon McCain.

His own Secretary of Defense tells us that “Mission Accomplished” was in the President’s speech. At Rumsfeld’s request the words were stricken from the speech, but he didn’t know that they would be the backdrop for the speech until he saw the final setup.

The whole thing was a photo-op from word go. The aircraft carrier was delayed for several days so the photo-op could happen. It was just off the coast, but rotated so the cameras would see open water behind the President during his speech. The enormous “Mission Accomplished” banner was brought by the White House advance crew and framed carefully above the President in the television shots. The President flew in on a jet rather than taking a more prosaic helicopter ride.

And then of course the contents of the speech, while not containing the words “Mission Accomplished” was all about how the mission had been accomplished. How it was only clean up from here on out. The tide had turned in Iraq and in Afghanistan. The troops would be drawn down. The anti-war critics were wrong because it had been a cake walk after all.

Five years on the President’s magnificent photo-op, his crotch bulged by flight straps and loving described by television anchors, looks far more ridiculous than anyone could have imagined.

How many times were we told to give it another 90 days.

As many times as we’ve been told we’re turning the corner! Don’t you get it? We’re running in circles, letting the clock run out 3 months at a time… all the while, the private contractors and oil companies rake in HUGE profits.

And who said BushCo wasn’t good at planning…

PEACE

I can’t wait to start donating to the 527s to run some fun and creative, but unfortunately all too true, ads against Grandpa McSame!

PEACE

That’s just his way of telling America his diaper is full. At his age, every bowel movement is a “massive victory.”
