Remember the "mission accomplished" banner that the Bush administration has been derided for prominently displaying when it declared an end to major combat operations? Before the 5 year anniversary of that historic failure of judgment, the White House is trying rewrite history and say that banner was just for that ship alone.

Holy fuck this is [old]. 5 years old.

Quote :

"After shifting explanations, the White House eventually said the "Mission Accomplished" phrase referred to the carrier's crew completing its 10-month mission, not the military completing its mission in Iraq. Bush, in October 2003, disavowed any connection with the "Mission Accomplished" message."

Good work though. Great thread. I'm sure it will be very popular.
