Five years ago, after President Bush made a dramatic entrance on an aircraft carrier, he claimed that "Major combat operations have ended" and, "The battle of Iraq is one victory in a war on terror that began on Sept. 11, and still goes on." Behind his a giant "Mission Accomplished" banner was ever so proudly displayed. While the press had a field day making his sign the but of every joke, his press secretary claimed that, "President Bush is well aware that the banner should have much mire specific."
Tomorrow will the the fifth anniversary of this symbolic failure of a sign. It will always be a symbol of Bush's cockiness, however. It seems like too much of a coincidence to a legitimate mistake to me. Although it is not that important, the press will still ridicule him for it. Is it worth making such a bid deal out of? It is funny, but shouldn't something like this just be overlooked? Or are we all just tired of Bush, if no the entire conflict in Iraq in general?

Just thought everyone should know that 25% of America chooses the president and when they do presidential approval ratings who cares if he only has a 30% approval rating, that is more than who voted for him so maybe other people should vote. I think it is absurd that people complain about a president when they should be instead complaining about more people not voting. Don't agree with Bush on a lot of things by the way but I do not run my mouth on him cause I did not vote against him and I don't really think it is my place to say anything. Where I do think it is my place to say something is to tell the lazy 50% of the populace who are eligible to vote and don't that they are to blame for our problems, not Bush cause statistically he probably would not have been in office if our data is right! So guess what America before you hate on the most powerful man in America who accomplished something you can only dream of eat that!
Bush does this "Mission Accomplished" sign every year to try and convince people that we are getting things done in Iraq. Period. There is no other reason to do it, and everyone including Bush knows that our mission is not accomplished. This shouldn't be overlooked because its just another indirect lie that Bush is feeding to the public. He's just doing it for support of his stupid mistake of keeping our troops in Iraq for so long.
