A MESSAGE TO THE ALLEGED WINNERS FROM A VIETNAM VETERAN
The election is over and you Bush supporters are literally cackling with glee and basking in the glow of your own personal “Mission Accomplished.” Gloat while you can, because you're still stuck with the war on Iraq.
Prior to his re-election, it was clearly George Bush's war. He wanted it, he worked for it and he got it. It was his personal crusade. And now it belongs to you too. By voting for George Bush, you reaffirmed the deception, the misinformation and the outright lies that the boy used to justify his invasion of Iraq.
By voting for George Bush you assumed personal responsibility for the ever-widening vortex of death and destruction in Iraq. From now on, a little bit of every shattered body, blinded eye and flag-draped coffin belongs to you.
It's still the wrong war at the wrong time and it will prove to be your "Mission Accomplished."
