Three years ago today, George W. Bush slipped on a military flight suit (something he had apparently been averse to doing when he was actually enlisted) and swooped down onto the deck of the USS Abraham Lincoln in the co-pilot seat of a Navy S-3B Viking. According to CNN, it was the first time a president (sic) had ever arrived on the deck of an aircraft carrier by plane.
Greeted by cheers, he approached the podium and began to speak…
“Thank you all very much. Admiral Kelly, Captain Card, officers and sailors of the USS Abraham Lincoln, my fellow Americans: Major combat operations in Iraq have ended. In the battle of Iraq, the United States and our allies have prevailed.”
Bush is (was) right. America has prevailed and will continue to do so as long as we are protecting ourselves against real enemies. Mission Accomplished- Sadam is on trial by the newly formed government of Iraq. We will leave them eventually with a good foundation for a fair democracy. Wether or not the people of Iraq will destroy it with their backwards religious fervor remains to be seen
