Is the Mission still Accomplished or is the War back on?
because it sure sounds like it is... This whole war seems bassakwards too me. It seems that we've lost more troops the last couple of weeks than at the beginning of the invasion and just before Dubya said "Mission Accomplished". Mission Accompished denotes just that...that were done! :eyes:

I think the Iraqi's cooled their heels for a while to see exactly what the Americans would do with their country. Well they've seen it and they don't like it.... My local newspaper had a headline today that said." Iraqi's fighting troops".... It wasn't Insugents, Terrorists, etc...it was Iraqis.

So some news person in the White House Press room ought to ask little Scotty, "Scott, is the Mission still Accomplished and is the War back on?

1. The "mission" was for Bush to get re-elected. So we'll see if the
American people are dumb enough to fall for it. Cal Thomas pointed out that no President ever lost during "war time."

Unfortunately for Cal, Bush isn't the President and this isn't "war time."

3. Then again, few presidents have so brazenly lied to take us to war.
Lyndon Johnson did, but then "chose" not to seek reelection in 1968 when things were going badly.
