Did you know that today is Delaware Liberal‘s 5th anniversary. The first post was written on November 8, 2005. Unsurprisingly, it was about a wishy-washy statement put out by Mike Castle.
With the news that we have used chemical weapons in Iraq, curiosity got the better of me and I went to Michael Castle’s site to see what he was saying about President Bush and the Iraq debacle he engineered. Imagine my surprise to find this wishy washy, word parsing from our faux moderate member of congress:
“Congressman Castle supported the Congressional Resolution to disarm Saddam Hussein and recently visited Iraq to get a first hand account on how reconstruction efforts are moving forward and to assess troop morale. Castle participated in a bipartisan delegation visit to Iraq and Kuwait and met with military officials, civilian administrators, and troops (including units from Delaware) to discuss the ongoing efforts in Iraq and determine how to proceed with the reconstruction and integration of a free a democratic Iraq.”
Who could have guessed that DL wouldn’t have Mike Castle to kick around anymore. It feels like we’re all grown up (though some people still think DL’s in the Terrible Twos).
Personally I’d like to thank Jason330 for starting this site and making it such a fun place to hang out – and for giving me a chance to write. Thank you to all our readers and commenters for making this site for the premier site for Delaware politics.
