So much for "Mission Accomplished" by Vic Meyers

It is sad to see Iraq falling back into chaos.  When I see the news reports about what is going on I can only think of the 4,489 U.S. men and women who died in combat to search for WMDs that never existed.

I remember Dick Cheney promising we’d be welcomed as liberators.  I also remember the 32,021 (official) wounded and the VA backlog.  

It’s fresh in my mind how Washington extremists didn’t care about making it worse with a government shutdown.  I recall the recent filibuster of a veterans jobs program. 

We need to take care of the wounded warriors we have before we create more.  There is nothing in Iraq that is worth giving one more American life when the Iraqis themselves are refusing to fight.
