Earlier today, Mr. Bush vetoed a $124 billion spending measure for the Iraq War, primarily because the bill established rigid timelines for withdrawing troops from the Middle East.
This may actually be the first (and probably last) time when I have agreed with Mr. Bush's actions. Implementing specific deadlines for troop withdrawal and then publicizing those deadlines worldwide is tremendously irresponsible and dangerous. And the fact that certain leaders in the Democratic Party, such as Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid, support the timelines is a perfect example of how the left has become a complete joke. With that being said, it is extremely important to note that, exactly four years ago today, Mr. Bush uttered these statements: "Major combat operations in Iraq have ended. In the battle of Iraq, the United States and our allies have prevailed." Mr. Bush delivered these false claims aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln in front of a huge banner stating "Mission Accomplished". HOWEVER, 1,462 days have passed and 3,352 U.S. military personnel have died since then. What would the Iraq War be like if the mission had not been accomplished?
