Proposal - MISSION ACCOMPLISHED celebration 4-30-06

THEY WERE WRONG ABOUT THIS WAR FROM THE BEGINNING.



Hey DU! I am proposing a Mission Accomplished Celebration for Sunday, April 30th, 2006. On 5-1-2003, flight suit boy essentially declared "mission accomplished".

I pulled this quote from DU poster Katherine Brengle OP "In case y'all forgot -- RW quotes about Iraq from 2003" http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=364x682358 . "Well, the hot story of the week is victory.... The Tommy Franks-Don Rumsfeld battle plan, war plan, worked brilliantly, a three-week war with mercifully few American deaths or Iraqi civilian deaths.... There is a lot of work yet to do, but all the naysayers have been humiliated so far.... The final word on this is, hooray." (Fox News Channel's Morton Kondracke, 4/12/03)

THE FINAL WORD ON THIS IS, HOORAY!

I am suggesting a "protest" with nothing but quotes from 2003 ("We will be greeted as liberators!"), nothing but Mission Accomplished posters.

When Bush stated the sixteen words in the 2003 State of the Union, I felt that we had to attack both Niger and Iraq. We could not allow Iraq to have nukes or yellowcake uranium.
This statement required military action. We went to war with the army we had (armed w/o body armor. w/o international cooperation) because Iraq was 45 minutes from nuking Israel.
We are not safer fighting them over there, because we could have fought them over-there in Afghanistan, with international cooperation. We decided to invade Iraq. This was a mistake.

Let us use their own words, their own logic, their own arguments, to show our opposition to this situation. Who would like to explore this idea?
