Carrying a little stick and speaking loudly in Milwaukee

Tomorrow marks one year since our commander in chief declared an end to major combat operations in Iraq. Thank goodness he wasn't too hasty to ride the wave of war fever, and throw together a fancy photo op. Well, perhaps we should take a closer look at what he had to tell the country on that fateful day.



Here's one excerpt from the White House website:

"The liberation of Iraq is a crucial advance in the campaign against terror. We've removed an ally of al Qaeda, and cut off a source of terrorist funding. And this much is certain: No terrorist network will gain weapons of mass destruction from the Iraqi regime, because the regime is no more. (Applause.) "

Let's just disregard the fact that the al Qaeda connection has been thoroughly dismissed, I'm just glad we've got those WMDs under control. Those nukes could have.. er.. mobile weapons labs.. umm.. crap.

Well, at least major combat operations did end when President Bush said so... On second thought, maybe I need one of these.
