A Voice in the Wilderness: Mission Accomplished

A Voice in the Wilderness

As nightfall does not come at once, neither does oppression. In both instances, there's a twilight where everything remains seemingly unchanged, and it is in such twilight that we must be aware of change in the air, however slight, lest we become unwitting victims of the darkness. -- William O. Douglas

Mission Accomplished - Fifth Anniversary

Five years ago on this day, you stridently proclaimed victory under the banner, 'Mission accomplished' on the deck of the USS Abraham Lincoln.

Arriving on your pilot's costume, you had the world by the balls.

Today:

Fuel prices through the roof.
Iran is openly defiant.
Osama has not been caught.
Iraq is in utter chaos.
Our economy is in the toilet.

Your mission to destroy America's standing in the world indeed has been accomplished.

Thank you Mr. President.

The adminstration had repeatedly implied a connection between 9-11 and Saddam in the build up to the invasion - you'll recall the b.s. such as "We'll fight 'em there so we don't hafta fight 'em here."

Of course there was no connection between 9-11 and Iraq; in fact, Al Quida (or however you spell it) in Iraq only came into being as a result of the chaos created by the Bush invasion.

Yet at the time of the invasion, seventy five percent of Americans believed Iraq was behind 9-11. Lies work - especially with the media looking less and less independent/investigative.
