Buzzflash: Cheney: "We Want to Complete the Mission." Wait, Wasn't it already Accomplished?

[demobabe]

On May 1, 2003, George W. Bush stood on a US aircraft carrier and declared "Mission Accomplished." Nearly four years and a few thousand American deaths later, Dick Cheney went aboard another aircraft carrier today to announce "we want to complete the mission."

No, Cheney wasn't wearing a flight suit.

But what, pray tell, is our mission these days? First it was finding the WMDs, then getting Saddam, then giving democracy to the Iraqi people. We found the WMDs (all zero of them), publicly executed Saddam, and ordered an election that installed a government that Bush's own national security advisor thinks is incompetent. What does Cheney want to complete next?

Republicans blast Democrats for not supporting the troops, but Bush is the one keeping them in a civil war without any defined goal or purpose. Fighting the "global war on terror" is nice, but it is assuredly not a tactic or strategy.

In addition to the rubbish about completing the mission, Cheney said, "we want to get it done right, and then we want to come home, with honor."

Genius. Our troops can't complete the mission and come home if they don't have a mission, can they? Even if they did, the Bush administration has been hard at work making sure they would not be able to do it right.
