BS.

I am NOT arguing semantics. I am saying that the mission to which Bush was referring WAS accomplished. The mission was to remove Saddam from power. That WAS accomplished. Are you going to try to deny that?

When did WWII end? When Germany surrendered, or after Germany was rebuilt? When Japan surrendered, or after Japan was rebuilt? When was the "mission" of WWII accomplished?

If you believe that the "Mission" will never be accomplished until there is peace in the middle-East and/or a Democrat in the White House, the "Mission" will NEVER be accomplished.



I agree with you that Bush's landing on the aircraft carrier and declaring "Mission Accomplished" was a bad PR move. But it was a bad PR move because people like YOU are doing exactly what you continue to do - claim that the mission was something that it was not.
