Five years after Dear Leader declared "Mission Accomplished!" in Iraq, what, exactly, has been accomplished? Well:
- Quagmire accomplished in Iraq,
- Poisoning accomplished thanks to a FDA not given enough money to properly supervise our supply of life-saving drugs,
- Rebuilding (not) accomplished: New Orleans largely in ruins, and the "rebuilt" levees stuffed with newspapers rather than real waterproof materials
- Enriching Halliburton accomplished: Vastly increasing defense spending while decreasing domestic spending while running up $7.7 trillion in debt,
- Destroying value of the dollar accomplished: Printing dollars so fast that the dollar is swiftly becoming worthless toilet paper with pictures of dead presidents on it...
- Profits for oil barons accomplished: Gasoline at $4 per gallon...
Mission Accomplished, indeed!

I don't know why I thought you might NOT be snarky today. Silly me.
ReplyDeleteGood ones today, by the way :)
Not only is today the fifth annual Mission Accomplished Day, it's also the fifth annual Loyalty Day. Glory!
ReplyDeleteaccmoplished. I learned something new about Badtux. He doesn't use spell check, either. :) And!! I'm not insulting you. I'm just making an observation. Your list is pretty complete. Good job!
ReplyDeleteI'm sure if he could, he'd get "Mission Accomplished" tattoed across his ass. They accomplished their "missions". Woe to the rest of us.
ReplyDeleteAnd if the "nothing matters" group has their way, McCain can start printing up his Mission Accomplished banner now.
(great post, btw)
I'm having trouble figuring out which species you are by Ground Rules ! Good list.
ReplyDeleteSeeing as you 'appreciate' George's 'accomplishments' so much, let me encourage you to visit Len Hart.

"Appreciate" meant "to evaluate justly" once upon a time. We need a word like that again.
