That's what Wolfie said. Rummy promised we'd vanquish these ugly A-rabs in 60 days, 90 days, MAX. Long haul, my ass. These morons were running around with their "Mission Accomplished" and yellow ribbons and claimed in early '04 how they had totally destroyed the Talliban and had Iraq on the ropes. But damned if that "librul" corporate media didn't ruin things. They didn't keep telling us lies of how great things were going...they didn't follow the script.
Now if we're in this for the "long haul", then obviously we're gonna need to keep paying billions over that time...thus surely these "patriots" will gladly fork over 25 or 50 percent of their income to pay to keep those evil A-rabs from flying airplanes into their heads. Or they should be running to the nearest Selective Service office and signing up. Ya mean they aren't? :sarcasm:
War has been portrayed as a TV show...a great adventure and our corporate media couldn't give us enough. We were "wowed" with those bunkerbusters and astounded by the live reports in the rush to Baghdad...never with any thought of what would result from this invasion. Despite the warnings of those who understood the culture and politics of the region, they're still pushing this simplistic narrative that only gets complex when things don't play out the way its scripted.
I would love to find out about all those schools we've rebuilt...how many are operating? How many have not held classes cause the children are being kept home for fear of their lives. I caught Bowen in one spin/lie when he claimed Polio had been wiped out thanks to our assistance. True, through UN/AID, American vaccines became available...but that was 20-30 years ago...not since we came charging across the border in 2003.
