Mike Sweet Just Can’t Let It Go

Falcon:

Mike Sweet just can’t let Iraq go and constantly keeps bringing it up in his editorials in the Hack-Eye.  Everyone by now knows how he feels about Bush; so why does he continue to harp about it, maybe his mind just locked up back in the 90s.

I don’t remember Mike harping about Johnson’s Vietnam War that killed over 55,000 Americans a fact that makes the Iraq war small potatoes in comparison.  Johnson lied about the Gulf of Tonkin that got us into the shooting war.  A fabrication at best that caused the deaths of between 55 and 60 thousands of American troops.  Don’t forget we had the draft back then and many that went were not volunteers and surely didn’t want to be there while todays army is all volunteer.

If a Parrot kept repeating itself as Mike does I would think it would be sold off or be taught something else to say although I must say Obama never changes his tune either, according to him it’s always someone else’s fault for his failures.
