Former President George W. Bush is pitching in to help President Biden celebrate the military's sudden victory in Afghanistan, breaking out his famous 'Mission Accomplished" banner from 18 years ago.

"Lookie here what I still had in the attic!" exclaimed an elated President Bush as he dusted off his trusty banner. "Laura said I'd never find it in this mess, but she misunderestimated me once again. They said we couldn't beat Afghanistan, but boy howdy our boys finally showed them evildoers who's boss!"

President Biden was reportedly very touched by the kind gesture. He broached the idea of attempting to land a plane on an aircraft carrier as Bush did, but aides nixed the idea as they don't think Kamala Harris could defeat a turnip in an election.

“Mission Accomplished” may actually be accurate if the “mission” was unconditional surrender to our enemies.

Saudis and Pakistanis are laughing since they got away scot free despite being the actual “evildoers.”

Something else that is painful. Democrats cried out that Trump was giving Afghanistan to the Taliban when he suggesting leaving. What pray tell do they think of Biden doing it? They call him a hero
You cannot trust anything a Democrat says

“Almost too painfully true to be funny.”

And unfortunate since the sign was placed by the Navy to congratulate the ship’s crew for the specific mission they had just completed. They were headed home.

No one remembers that after the press got through twisting it.

Democrats seem to prefer “courageous restraint”. Wish I could post the medal for that. Maybe someone who can post pictures could do it.

A mission is not the whole war, but one little part of it.

In other words, it was a PR stunt for the TV cameras that went awry.

That about sums it up.

In other news, the Bidet administration announced it had met its five year plan goals in only six months.

Forward, comrades!

(When asked what those goals were, the White House Press Secretary said: “If you need to ask then you obviously need a refresher course at the re-education camp. Guards!”)
