I'll be campaigning tomorrow in my Distrct which runs from the Houston suburbs to the Austin suburbs (TX 10), so I thought I'd post my Independence Day message today, the 3rd of July. When President Bush landed on that aircraft carrier deck some three years ago, to the banner "Mission Accomplished"; he was right. We had won the war in Iraq. Saddam was deposed. The Republican Guard had been defeated. The Kurds were free. We were confirming that there were no weapons of mass destruction. American troops performed superbly. Then, for some reason, Cheney, Rumsfeld and Rove decided that the US mission was to "Bring Democracy to the Iraqi's".
