Silly Thinking

Well now we can celebrate. Victory is in the process of being declared. A few Iraqis have taken the opportunity to watch Americans pull down a statue of Saddam, relished it, and that's all there is to establishing democracy and freedom in Iraq. Obviously our bombs do rain down liberation.

Here's an old Tom Tomorrow strip from the first Gulf War that sums up the current spin.


Remember, the Bush administration told us they were going to declare victory no matter what on the 4th.

Now I'll quote myself quoting the Washington Post:

"The new war strategy? Declare victory and distract the media.

'The Bush administration has devised a strategy to declare victory in Iraq even if Saddam Hussein or key lieutenants remain at large and fighting continues in parts of the country, officials said yesterday.'-WP 4/3/03

After all what network will continue with the war coverage after the Bush administration declares the war won?

Example?

Afghanistan."
