"MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!"
Three years ago on this month, George Bush arrived aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln and proclaimed “Mission Accomplished” in Iraq. Bush claimed that all major combat operations in Iraq have ended. However, he forgot to tell the insurgents.
In Bush’s speech, he said "The liberation of Iraq is a crucial advance in the campaign against terror. We have removed an ally of al Qaeda…No terrorist network will gain weapons of mass destruction from the Iraqi regime.”
Contrary to Bush’s statement, numerous government investigations concluded that NO weapons of mass destruction existed in Iraq and Hussein had NO ties to al Qaeda. Bush was guilty of grossly distorting and exaggerating the Iraqi threat to Americans.
U.S. deaths have risen since Bush victory speech 1700 per cent. The cost of the war has escalated to over $277 billion. Over 50,000 innocent Iraqis have been murdered.
Bush , who is prone to falsehoods, lied once again, when he claimed, five months after his victory speech aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln, that sailors bought and hung the large banner, ‘Mission Accomplished.” The American taxpayers paid for the banner!
Its ironic that Bush gave his victory speech on the carrier that bears Lincoln’s name, a president who valued honesty as the best policy, while Bush embraces duplicity as the best strategy.
