Mission Accomplished...but no exit strategy and no timetable

UPDATE: Today, on the FOURTH ANNIVERSARY OF HIS "MISSION ACCOMPLISHED" FIASCO, our un-elected President defied the will of the people and vetoed funding our troops who are in a combat zone. Democrats fulfilled their promise to the American people and demanded an exit strategy, a timetable for getting our troops out of the Iraq quagmire. Today, Bush made the decision to cut off funding for our troops in Iraq and Afghanistan rather than provide Congress with an exit strategy.

George Bush wants to cut funding off for our troops because he does not want to outline a sound exit strategy.

By doing this he will be vetoing the will of the people, who overwhelmingly are sick of being lied to and seeing soldiers die for nothing, and he is committing our soldiers to an indefinite involvement in a civil war with no purpose for the United States and no exit strategy. He seems to be doing this on the 4th anniversary of his "Mission Accomplished" statement, which must have referred to the accomplishment of turning American foreign policy into nothing more than a gravy train for Halliburton and sacrificing our soldiers and our war against al-Qaeda in the process. Great mission, great accomplishment...

VoteVets.org is responding to Bush's veto of the will of the people and common sense with the following video:

Mission Accomplished: Four Years on...

May 1st, 2003, Bush announced "Mission Accomplished"

And we are STILL bogged down in the Iraq quagmire four years later, with more than 3300 American soldiers dead, still no clear purpose, no exit strategy, no nothing. We are bogged down, with a new McCain/Bush/Lieberman escalation putting more time, money and troops into the war based on lies in Iraq while Osama bin Laden is free as a bird, and al-Qaeda, the people who actually attacked us, stronger than ever.

Yeah...Mission Accomplished declared May 1st, 2003...here is what Michael Moore had to say about it:


Mission accomplished. And yet, the money and the blood keep flowing. The following is released in honor of the 4th Anniversary of "Mission Accomplished" by Americans United for Change:

Words to live by

Sometimes it feels satisfying. But more often it seems ineffective and pointless. This blog has been more my platform for venting than an actual tool of change --lazy activism, if you will. Or maybe it's just that my interest in seeing the world change has been replaced by a deep cynicism about whether that change will happen. It takes a lot of energy to sustain anger against a cultural machine. And that anger is starting to feel more futile and self-defeating. I mean, how many times and in how many ways can you say "Fuck racists. Fuck sexists. Fuck rich people. Fuck community-destroying trolls. Fuck Republicans."?
