Those words have never been uttered by the president, as a matter of fact hesaid in the speech aboard the ship that "the war will go on and many battles lay ahead."
where do you get this shit? its almost funny how little some people know.

ummm... doublespesk, anyone?
and as far as saying that the war would go on and there were many battles yet to fight, i read that as meaning, "you thought the war on drugs was a huge waste of time and money? whew! wait til you check out this never-ending war on terror!", as opposed to talking about iraq.
uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, the president never said the war was over,ever.
nor did the administration Ever say that Saddam Hussein HAD weapons of mass destruction, we went to war before they could obtain them. I challenge you to find a copy of the speech,or any speech where its quoted W saying Saddam HAD WMD.
I BET YOU CANT.
i agree. i hadn't stated in my post that he had.Quote:

he did make a major photo opp... er, speech, in front of a banner reading mission accomplished. you say this had nothing to do w/ the operations in iraq, that it refered to something having nothing to do w/ the president's speech.
again, i say that's doublespeak.
to clarify, i think the never-ending war on terror is a very different thing from the war in iraq. iraq was just the first act of this game to keep us voting w/ our emotions as opposed to voting w/ reason and logic.
shamsterdam along with the rest of the GW fans have really gone over the deep end. Dude i have seen u used the mission accomplished words a few times on here, talk about doublespeak... oh yeah its now 2026 dead soldiers in iraq, should i say freedoms on the march for u wannabe neo-con. I bet ur thinking process is turn off to any thought of the number of dead in iraq.
neo-con??? i am far from a neo-con, and alot of my opinions would be laughed at by the far-right.
2026 dead, i agree its tragic.whats your point?
Its now over 2037 dead soldiers.. Died for a lie, died for PNAC
Petroluem and crude oil is inferior to fuels made from hemp seeds. Dying for no reason out there in the desert.
Looking back through the history of warfare though, most of them died for petty reasons.
Of course, influenze has killed more people than war. But that's besides the point.
