Mission Accomplished

Bush’s announcement, under a banner that read “Mission Accomplished,” took place just six weeks after the start of the war, generating harsh criticism as being a premature celebration and political grandstanding.

Franks, who retired a year ago, said he thought a public announcement would send a green light to countries that had balked at joining combat operations but had expressed willingness to join efforts to rebuild Iraq.

“That was not so everyone could have a victory lap,” Franks said in a telephone interview Monday. “We’d been given to believe that once major hostilities were over, we would have lots and lots more help from the international community.”

If you disagre with General Tommy Franks then just say so. I have no problem admitting that I disagree with some people some of the time. I don't know of anybody that I would agree with 100% of the time.

Please share.

You really don't know what you are talking about. With the help of these "crutches" we were able to liberate 50 million people who are now our allies in a war against terror. And your biggest problem seems to be that a few stores were looted during a war.

You need to put down the kool-aid and do some research.
