in two months, it will be FIVE YEARS since "mission accomplished" was announced
on the aircraft carrier by little boots.


http://www.cnn.com/2003/ALLPOLITICS/10/28/mission.accomplished/


since then, we've accomplished the deaths of over 4,000 of our good fighting men and women, over a million and a half innocent Iraqi citizens, and have YET to repair the infrastructure destroyed in our takeover of Iraq.
We HAVE, however, managed to place 14 permanent military bases, the world's largest ever embassy complex at a cost larger than the national treasury of most small countries, and have managed to INCREASE our risk of terrorism as we make a breeding ground of resentment in the region.


just a reminder of what this election is REALLY all about
