We have had five years of useless death and destruction in Iraq based on the lies of war profiteers and neocon madmen. I still can hear Dick Cheney promising that we will be greeted as liberators and that his PNAC war would be short and sweet. I still have images Colin Powell in my psyche with his charts and maps and photographs…declaring that we were in imminent danger of death by WMD.

Editorial today at http://TvNewsLIES.org/tvnl asks a good question. It begins like this:
Celebrating the Anniversary, Mr. Bush?
The war against Iraq began at 5:30 AM Baghdad time (9:30 PM EST, March 19), when the U.S. launched Operation Iraqi Freedom.
Five years, George. Five ugly, deadly, bloody years. This is quite an anniversary. If you wait a day or two, you’ll be able to celebrate the 4,000th US military death as well.
Break out the champagne.It’s been a fairly quiet five years, George. No photos of the dead or dying. No flag-draped coffins, no talk of the legless, blinded or horribly burned. Not a murmur about hundreds of thousands of dead and terribly injured Iraqis.

Great news management, George, -you’d hardly know such carnage was involved. . Good for you.
You’ve waged such a clean, carefree war, George, if just a tad costly. That $12 billion a month you’re spending on this foray really is hardly worth a mention, considering what you’ve done to the dollar. But, a cash cow is a cash cow. Let’s drink to that….
