Five Years After "Mission Accomplished," John McCain is "Fine" With 100 More


(Concord) --  On the five year anniversary of President Bush's infamous "Mission Accomplished" speech and John McCain's statement at the time that "it's clear that the end is very much in sight," it still remains clear that McCain and Bush offer no plan for victory or exit strategy in Iraq.   Instead, McCain only offers a long-term troop presence in Iraq similar to our presence in Germany and South Korea, an approach that he himself admits won't work.   [ABC News, "Good Morning America," 4/9/2003]

(Manchester, NH) - In August 2003, five months after the beginning of the Iraq war, John E. Sununu still misunderstood the social and political climate in Iraq so badly that he proclaimed we were "winning the hearts and minds" of Iraqis. One year later, even the Pentagon had to admit that the struggle for hearts and minds had not only failed, it had caused an anti-American backlash.
