Cheney on Aircraft Carrier: "We Want to Complete the Mission." Wait, What Mission? Wasn't it already Accomplished?

A BUZZFLASH NEWS ALERT

On May 1, 2003, George W. Bush stood on a US aircraft carrier and declared "Mission Accomplished." Nearly four years and a few thousand American deaths later, Dick Cheney went aboard another aircraft carrier today to announce "we want to complete the mission."

No, Cheney wasn't wearing a flight suit.

But what, pray tell, is our mission these days? First it was finding the WMDs, then getting Saddam, then giving democracy to the Iraqi people. We found the WMDs (all zero of them), publicly executed Saddam, and ordered an election that installed a government that Bush's own national security advisor thinks is incompetent. What does Cheney want to complete next?

Republicans blast Democrats for not supporting the troops, but Bush is the one keeping them in a civil war without any defined goal or purpose. Fighting the "global war on terror" is nice, but it is assuredly not a tactic or strategy.

In addition to the rubbish about completing the mission, Cheney said, "we want to get it done right, and then we want to come home, with honor."

Genius. Our troops can't complete the mission and come home if they don't have a mission, can they? Even if they did, the Bush administration has been hard at work making sure they would not be able to do it right.

Cheney added that "the American people will not support a policy of retreat." Call it what you want, but the reality is that a majority of Americans adamantly favor Mission Get the %&$! Out of Iraq. You almost have to feel sorry for the man. It must be months since they've shown a public opinion poll on Fox News.

Besides, we definitely support our friends across the pond for finally deciding to pull British troops out of Iraq (despite the suspicious timing just days after Prince Harry was set to be deployed).

BUSH & CHENEY HAVE AGREED TO CAPTURE THE OIL IN IRAQ AND IRAN FOR EXXON, MOBIL, SHELL, BP AMERICA WHEN THEY MET WITH THEM DURING THOSE SECRET MEETINGS. DO YOU THINK BOTH PARTIES ARE IN CAHOOTS WITH THESE CRIMINALS TO CAPTURE THIS OIL AND DOMINATE THE WORLD? I BET THEY ALL ARE AND OUR CHILDREN HAVE BEEN MURDERED BY THESE SCUMBAGS! OVER 3,000 AMERICANS ARE DEAD FOR THE "MISSION" TO CAPTURE THIS OIL BUT NO ONE IN THE AMERICAN OR FOREIGN PRESS HAS HAD THE BALLS TO REPORT THIS. ARE THEY AFRAID OF THESE BASTARDS?

I hate these guys for making me hate them so much.

I hope they live a long time so they can experience their place in history as the worst leaders and most hated evil men in America. And so Bush can see his name written many many times along with Hitler and Mussilini. And so the twins can see their names as representing complete worthless rich kids that don't give a flying crap about what is going on as long as they get to party.

blackwhite- The ability to accept whatever "truth" the party puts out, no matter how absurd it may be. Orwell described it as "...loyal willingness to say black is white when party discipline demands this. It also means the ability to believe that black is white, and more, to know black is white, and forget that one has ever believed the contrary."

THE MISSION OF SECURING CONTROL OVER THE OIL

Submitted by mdruss42 on Thu, 02/22/2007 - 10:08am.

WILL BE ACCOMPLISHED AS SOON AS THE OIL COS HAVE THE BOGUS LEADERS SIGS ON THE CONTRACT TO HAND OVER THE NATURAL RESOURCES OF IRAQ FOREVER FOR THE ENRICHMENT OF A FEW VERY UNATTRACTIVE PEOPLE AND TO ENSURE THAT WE, THE USA, HAVE A STRANGLEHOLD ON THE ENERGY RESOURCES OF THE WORLD.

WILL THEY ATTACK IRAN....I AM AFRAID THESE JOKERS WILL DO ANYTHING TO KEEP THEIR DREAMS OF GLOBAL DOMINANCE ALIVE, AND KEEP IN MIND, MRS. CLINTON HAS BEEN KIND ENOUGH TO POINT OUT TO THOSE OF US SILLY ENOUGH TO BELIEVE IT A PROBLEM SOLVED BY VOTING OUT REPS AND REPLACING THEM WITH DEMS, BEST RE-EVALUATE.

IT IS THE WHOLE SYSTEM, FOLKS. CAN THERE BE LIFE AFTER OIL......ARE WE WILLING TO INDULGE OURSELVES IN MASS MURDER AND THE DESTRUCTION OF WHOLE COUNTRIES, TO POLLUTING OUR WHOLE PLANET WITH DEPLETED URANIUM, TO LEAVING HUGE AREAS LITTERED WITH THE DETRITUS OF WAR, LIKE CLUSTER BOMBS, MINES, ETC., TO KILL FAR INTO THE FUTURE TO ADVANCE THE DELUSIONS OF A FEW MEN WHO HAVE DREAMED OF WORLD CONQUEST AND CONTROL FOR THOUSANDS OF YEARS. IT IS DOUBTFUL THAT THE COMMON MAN OR WOMAN FULLY UNDERSTOOD THE AIMS OF GENGIS KHAN, HITLER, CHURCHILL, OR THE MUCH STUDIED AND VENERATED ROMANS, BUT WE DO NOT HAVE THAT EXCUSE. WHEN WE PAY TO KILL MILLIONS ALL OVER THE WORLD, WE KNOW. IF THAT IS WHAT WE CHOOSE TO DO THEN WE NEED TO STFU AND PAY MORE TAXES.
