As an early advocate for war against Iraq and an original member of the Committee for the Liberation of Iraq (CLI), I’d be the first to admit that President Bush may have unveiled the “Mission Accomplished” banner a bit prematurely. There was still a lot of work to be done. But now that work is done and we might as well celebrate.  As of yesterday, our true mission for war in Iraq has been accomplished.  Exxon beat out Chinese and Russian consortiums for the contract to develop Iraq’s largest oil field, one of the biggest reserves on the planet. Thank you to all who sacrificed so much for this great achievement.
