World Politics
Dr. Farlow

May 1st, President Bush flew into the airbase in Dallas with good news for the military and all American people. Behind his enthusiastic speech read a sign, “mission accomplished.” May 5th, President Bush announced and posted on the internet that “Combat Operations in Iraq Have Ended,” and although sometime between then and today he changed that message to “Major Combat Operations in Iraq Have Ended,” isn’t this still a victory? I wonder exactly what “mission” Bush was speaking of? Although the war has been technically declared finished, more soldiers die now than ever before. Maybe the excessive bombing has stopped, but why are soldiers still there six months after the supposed “Combat Operations” ended. Even if the war has ended, what missions were accomplished, how has our success been measured? Clearly the President wasn’t implying the discovery of Saddam, Bin Laden, or even the infamous weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD). It also seems highly unlikely Bush would be referring to finally getting world support for our preemptive and destructive acts. Maybe the Iraqi people received electricity, running water, and the ability to live in their homes without the feeling of occupation from the American Freedom Fighters. Is the new Iraqi government now in place, and do they understand that they get to help the United States economy with huge construction and oil contracts? Obviously, democracy works everywhere, just ask Afghanistan. Their President might not have any power outside of Kabul quite yet, and terrorist groups are starting to re-group again without strong American presence there anymore, but the one billion dollars to rebuild their ENTIRE nation should do the job quite nicely. There are just too many victories, so many “missions accomplished,” or in my opinion too much rhetoric streaming from Bush’s mouth that he may actually start to justify the war...
