5 Years Ago Today - "Mission Accomplished"

5 Years ago today George W. Bush declared "Mission Accomplished" in Iraq. 3,925 American troops have died since he made that declaration and hundreds of thousands of Iraqis have been killed.

This video is a year old, so keep in mind while watching that unfortunately the death toll has increased since then.

Her calculated vote in favor of the war looked so smart back then.

6. You think Hillary voted yes on the IRW out of conviction?

It was a calculated move to innoculate her against being weak on defense. Unfortunately for her, it turned out even worse then she imagined.

4. George W. Bush hid behind children on September 11,

And he has since clung to the apron strings of our Military.

Disgusting Coward from start to end.

I always appreciate your stuff Ava, K&R. Hang in there Kiddo, Good times look to be incoming.

7. Come January

Come January, when the new Democrat is being sworn in as POTUS, I hope they have the "Mission Accomplished" banner waving prominently in the background!
