Mission Accomplished!

I just heard on the radio that the Bush Administration reports that, after 5 years, half a trillion dollars, thousands of US and tens of thousands of Iraqi casualties, Iraq's infrastructure is about where it was the day before the invasion.

 

Bravo!

we should get'em on that war on drugs thing next then, eh?

[tvashtarkatena]

Yes, the War on Drugs. Since it began, pot has 20 times more THC, and both crack and meth were invented and are now widespread. Prescription drug abuse is now rampant. The supplies of all the major controlled substances have increased dramatically. We'be doubled our inmate population to over 2 million, the highest incarceration rate per capita of any nation. Move over, China! And, of course, there's the violence issue; in Colombia, in Mexico, and right here at home.

 

Bravo!

Thank you, Richard M. Nixon. We're still keepin' the faith!

"JUST SAY NO"..."WAR ON DRUGS"..."ABSTIENCE FIRST SEX PROGRAM"..."WAR ON TERRORISM"..."WAR ON THE MIDDLE CLASS"...

The last time we won a real war of any kind was 63 years ago. Perhaps we should change our focus...or at least our rhetoric.
