Will the media mock Obama’s premature gloating and incorrect evaluations the way they mocked Bush’s “Mission Accomplished” sign? Of course not.

Despite Bush’s note being correct within context, and Obama’s being a crafted lie - even to the extent of trying to obscure an attack on a US mission resulting in the murder of an Ambassador.

The “mission accomplished” sign had nothing to do with Bush.

It was an aircraft carrier coming back home from a long tour of duty and the sign was for the sailors coming home. It was to honor them that they had accomplished their mission.

The twisting of the story since is just plain evil.

This “Mission Accomplished” bull shit needs to be set straight. If you recall, Bush flew a helicopter out to greet the returning Navy troops after completing the mission they were sent on. Even Bush didn’t believe that the job in Iraq was over and said so often.

This Aircraft Carrier was sent to the Persian Gulf with a mission (in writing with probably 20 copies). The ACCOMPLISHED that mission and returned.
