Support our unborn troops.

Liars.

Think Progress makes a good observation about the clothing of the Emperor:

This morning on Fox News Sunday, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice was asked if the Bush administration fairly [can] be criticized for failing to level with the American people about how long and difficult this commitment will be? Rice responded:

[T]he administration, I think, has said to the American people that it is a generational commitment to Iraq.

Thats not true. To build support for the war the administration told the American people that the conflict in Iraq will be short and affordable.

Vice President Dick Cheney, 3/16/03:

[M]y belief is we will, in fact, be greeted as liberators. . . . I think it will go relatively quickly. . . (in) weeks rather than months

Donald Rumsfeld, 2/7/03:

It is unknowable how long that conflict will last. It could last six days, six weeks. I doubt six months.

Former Budget Director Mitch Daniels, 3/28/03:

The United States is committed to helping Iraq recover from the conflict, but Iraq will not require sustained aid
