On Missions Accomplished (Iraq)
MY WORDS in response to a post at link above by forum-user named, "00timH" :

That's an excellent post.
About the fourth paragraph: I think there were multiple things 'going-down' there. I think that's where the Secretary of Defense approved a 'public-dissimination' strategy that failed, for whatever reason. There were other strategies, and that one just didn't work-out. I like experimentation -- instead of endlessly talking about every knit-picking detail, so I understand strategies that don't 'work-out' and trying something new, but I don't think anything 'new' was tried when it became readily-apparent that strategy wasn't working. I'm not talking about any commander's operational duties -- I want to make that clear.
See, "Mission Accomplished," was significant because the Mission of those Troops was to bring Saddam Hussein to trial; they captured him, he was arrested and turned over to a tribunal for prosecution. MISSION ACCOMPLISHED.
Nobody ever said anything about "establishing a new government" right then, immediately, INSTANT GRATIFICATION.
Nobody ever said anything about "playing cops-and-robbers" and putting our troops in that position;
Nobody said anything about having like-minded religious-members (non-Islamic) given access to various alphabet-soup organizations with access to U.S. Military hardware and facilities, and the 'authority' to send troops off-guard, the 'authority' to 'train' good troops like England (that's a name of a US serviceperson, not the country) to treat people like DOGS while those alphabet-soup organizational-members took pictures to stir-up an 'insurgency' and public-resentment on behalf of those hateful Legislators, while disappearing with billions of dollars, and nearly a billion pounds of plastic explosives to then go organize an 'insurgency' at the expense of OUR TROOPS.
Legislators did that. Claimed "mission accomplished" wasn't an 'accomplished mission' at all even though it obviously was, influenced the media to claim it wasn't, undermining moral of our Troops and encouraging and aiding and abetting an insurgency, then demanding our Troops become 'cops' while concocting a higher-ed religio-educational-media-cabal boondoggle to concoct their own dysfunctional governmental-franchise CONUS and OCONUS, in other countries, as a setup-for-failure for both troops and our President, taking the blame, as usual.
All our hateful Legislators have are far-removed scape-goats as DIVERSIONS from what they did, the 'mission' they accomplished, and held a multi-billion-dollar PARTY to celebrate their 'accomplishment.'
How convenient.
