Three Years Later in Iraq

Just a reminder to my war mongering neo cons who constantly attack anyone that doesn’t drink their “kool-aid” and quickly label them as liberals;

2300 Americans have lost their lives since that beautifully staged scenario that had Mr. Bush landing on an aircraft carrier announcing “Mission Accomplished.”

Cheney, Rumsfeld et al should go back and revisit the statements they made in the past and see what has been accomplished. Poor planning, poor exit strategies and tunnel vision have made me trust more in gypsy fortune tellers. We would have feared better by following their visions as they looked into their crystal balls. It’s obvious that your proverbial crystal balls were clouded with the almighty buck.

We toppled Saddam’s regime. We destroyed his statue but he still makes a mockery of us. We were dealt that famous deck of cards that will probably be worth millions on eBay twenty years from now but we still haven’t found neither Osama nor the WMDs.

As I stated before, the great Spanish author Cervantes wrote about this current Administration way back when. Don Quixote has come back and now lives as George Bush. The following passage from Don Quixote who at a distance mistakes windmills as enemy giants reminds me of George Bush and his distorted vision of WMDs;

“Fortune is guiding our affairs better than we could have wished, for you see there before you, friend Sancho Panza, some thirty or more lawless giants with whom I mean to do battle. I shall deprive them of their lives, and with the spoils from this encounter we shall begin to enrich ourselves; for this is righteous warfare, and it is a great service to God to remove so accursed a breed from the face of the earth.”

The characters that Cervantes conjured up four hundred years ago have come to life. Don Quixote de La Mancha and his sidekick Sancho Panza have returned to life in George Bush and Dick Cheney. Someone would make a fortune if they would cast these two in those roles with a modern day theme.

What Cervantes wrote was fiction meant to entertain the readers. What Bush and company are writing is reality which will be felt by many for years to come.
