A Belated “Happy Holiday!”
May 1st, 2007. Mission Accomplished Day.
It was four years ago on that date that Our President declared that we had won the war in Iraq. He stood there on the deck of the aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln, saying that major military operations were over in Iraq.
When he spoke those historic words, a giant banner hung in the background proclaiming MISSION ACCOMPLISHED. That’s why May 1st each year is Mission Accomplished Day (MAD).
I don’t know about you but I’ve been celebrating all week and will have to spend this weekend recovering. The parades, the fireworks, the picnics – what a time! Indeed, it’s a MAD holiday!
Americans deserve to be proud. Our President has brought peace and prosperity to the world. The liberated people of Iraq have built a thriving democracy, a stable society, a strong economy. Terrorism is on the decline. And even though it wasn’t our main interest, the victory in Iraq has reduced the price of gasoline to historic lows, only 70 cents a gallon.
Also, countries like Iran have seen the light and are becoming more democratic, realizing the practical benefits now being demonstrated in Iraq.
Wait a minute. Hold on. The hit of LSD that someone slipped me is wearing off…
