Sixth anniversary

Shall we take a moment to revel in the past glories of the Bush years ?

May 1 2003

“This is the formalization that tells everybody we’re not engaged in combat anymore, we’re prepared for getting out” a senior administration official said.

In a less publicized incident, Rumsfeld also declared an end to major combat operations in Afghanistan  on May 1, a few hours before President Bush’s announcement.

  1. Thank you BP for this critical and poignant reminder.

    So many innocent people have died needlessly and Iraq is decimated.

    Many of our own service men and women are returning with serious illnesses or post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

    It is a real tragedy in human lives and suffering, and all because a little boy who never grew up wanted to wear a flight suit.

    Commander in Chief lands on USS Lincoln

    ABOARD USS ABRAHAM LINCOLN (CNN) — President Bush made a landing aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln Thursday, arriving in the co-pilot’s seat of a Navy S-3B Viking after making two fly-bys of the carrier.

    It was the first time a sitting president has arrived on the deck of an aircraft carrier by plane. The jet made what is known as a “tailhook” landing, with the plane, traveling about 150 mph, hooking onto the last of four steel wires across the flight deck and coming to a complete stop in less than 400 feet.
