'Mission Accomplished': Bush's Infamous Iraq War Speech, 10 Years Later - US News

You can believe the Republican spin or hear the truth your choice. But my nephew served 4 more tours in the Gulf region and earned the Purple Heart after GW Bush declared major combat operations were over!!! BS

GW Bush started a war with a country that had NOT attacked the United States. He and his staff lied about the reasons for doing so in the run up to the war.....

Then he flew on to a carrier in full military grab under a Mission Accomplished banner and declared the Iraq war over. But as we know it was NOT!

He and Dick Cheney abandoned our troops there when he left office.

Now posters on this site are trying to spin the truth.

That's my point!

We all thank him for his service.

Now let's hear about how many have had to serve and where since Obama has declared combat in certain countries has come to an end. You know like places in Iraq where several American troops were pinned down by the taliban.

Obama is mucjh more devious about calling it what it is than any before him.
Remember he is the master illusionist.

And in the end it is our family memebers who pay the price.

So cut the BS about what W or anybody else did in the past. We cannot make that right. But we can sure as hell do something about the here and now by demanding the illusionist in chief tell it like it is and send our service members the help and allow them to win. Or get the hell ut all together.

Time for the political BS illusion to stop!

My post was a reaction to someone, in this string, saying the "Mission Accomplished" banner was about the ship which is Republican spin....

You are right about W his administration did many things wrong and we cannot change it now but we should NOT deny what happened on his watch and endeavor to keep it from happening again.

I have 2 other nephews in the military as well.. 1 Marines 1 Navy and 1 Army.

The one with the Purple Heart was on duty at the US Embassy in Tanzania when it was blown up in a terrorist attack. To this day I say it is not good when you see your nephew on CNN!

Gotta love it when someone has a relative that went into combat. Everyone knows someone "else" that went. That is supposed to make their statement credible.

So, I will legitimize my statement also, but with one difference. I served in Vietnam for two tours. 60K were killed in combat. I served in Desert storm and I was also in Baghdad in 2003 during Iraqi Freedom and was in the Al Rasheed when it was struck by 21 rockets while the World Series was going back here in the states. But, I also was in Baghdad when almost a half million bodies were uncovered in mass graves from when Sadaam used WMDs on his own people. I talked with the Iraqi people and they were so happy that we were there. At least the ones that talked to me. One story related to me explained how Sadaam and his brother used to drive down the city street looking for young women. When they found one they thought interesting, they would kidnap her and take her back to his palace, rape and kill her. One young male Iraqi told me that his sister had been kidnapped, never to be seen again. I was also told that before Sadaam fled the city, he released all the felony murders, prisoners from jail. Do I think that Bush made some mistakes? Not with Iraq. I received incoming fire almost every day that I was in Iraq. Was it Bush's fault? Not in my opinion.

In my opinion, Bush's only fault was allowing his tax cut that allowed the lower half of the income groups to either pay no taxes or very little taxes. Some folks that did not pay taxes even received a refund(?). That program is called the Earned income tax credit, also a Republican plan that I believe started under Ford and later expanded.

But, all that aside I find it very disingenuous that liberals continue to blame Bush for their poor choice of president. I realize that it was either a choice of Obama or Hillary and that caused a conundrum. Now, they have a choice of Hillary or the other socialist, Sanders. Another conundrum. They have the choice of the old or the antique. Not very progressive.

No you can't spin that. It was a case of theatrics that backfired on him. Even now he admits the Iraq war was a mistake. But I supposed some on this forum will try to blame it all on Obama.

Poor Obama. He is sooo misunderstood. Bush has been haunting the White House, forcing Obama into making poor decisions. It was Bush's fault for the recession, but Obama can hardly be blamed for the duration for the recession. After all, how can he be blamed for the bad recovery. A president is not responsible for the economy, right? Besides, how can you blame Obama when he has done nothing....other than play golf. Poor pitiful Obama, had a democrat majority and still couldn't get anything done. Bush's ghost has been such a bully.
