'Mission Accomplished' Anniversary

CBS NEWS ^ | May 1, 2006 | AP

[screw boll]

Three years ago on Monday, aboard the Everett-based USS Abraham Lincoln, "The tyrant has fallen and Iraq is free," President Bush declared, standing underneath a banner proclaiming: "MISSION ACCOMPLISHED."

Those two words have lingered uneasily since. A look at Iraq today shows that despite progress toward democracy, billions spent on reconstruction and the best efforts of its own people and an international coalition, the battle for Iraq's future is far from over.

[screw boll]

five days ago I posted an article nemaed, "Three Years after The “Mission Accomplished” Speech." As written in that article, the MSM does not know how to get facts out to the public.

The battle for America's future is far from over. These MSM people have no clue.

[in hoc signo vinces]

Ahhhh...Agendized News absent the facts.

My letter to them.

Dear MSM-CBS kooks,

Those words only sit uneasily because you think they do, because you dont report the news, just distort by report for your own Agenda...

So, since Diplomacy has failed in regard to CBS ever reporting the news fairly, accurately, contextually, with a sense of historical perspective...go FOAD!

Thanks!
In Hoc.

[screw boll]

The MSM is a group of dumb, bias, pin heads that know one thing: Bush is bad!

[MikeA]

Thanks DNC, I mean CBS. I notice Harry Reid was on the floor of the Senate mocking the president on this. Interesting how it's never long before the MSM will pick up on the Democrats' talking points.

[do the dhue]

Since Bush declared that Major Ops were over, have you seen (has anybody seen) the US fighting, armored vehicles, men in uniform, or any type of air power? The only thing I have seen is idiots in civilian close acting like terrorist.

[Berlin_Freeper]

Saddam was removed from power.

THAT was:"MISSION ACCOMPLISHED."

Someone call the hysterical crapheaded Democrat Attack Dog MSM and explain that to them.

It's been 3 years, how much longer are they going to embarrass themselves about this?

[do the dhue]

MSM is a bunch of

The USS Lincoln was returning home after the longest deployment (10 MONTHS) of a US ship since WWII. During that time the crew of over 5,000 men and women flew hundreds of sorties in support of our troops on the ground. During that time not one person on board the Lincoln was killed, lost at sea or died of natural causes. The record of this ship and the men and women who served on her was exemplary. The President honored those sailors and Marines with his salute to their "Mission Accomplished".

Those who use this speech as a way of slapping Bush in the face also do so to those who served.

[dinoparty]

To the MSM, the mission is only accomplished when the entire world is a blissful socialist one-state utopia, and not a moment sooner.

How dare the President celebrate the fact that the mission of removing a ruthless, dangerous and hostile dictator was accomplished, when there are still imperfections in Iraq and the world!

Sarcasm

[Diana in Wisconsin]

What a bunch of leftist, agenda-driven, evil dorks the MSM is! The "Mission Accomplished" that day was in reference to removing Saddam from power, and President Bush was THANKING the crew of that ship for their hard work, as they'd been gone for 10 months! Granted, it WAS an excellent Photo-Op, but it's not like we were never subjected to Clinton crying at Normady, or a thousand other bogus photo-op things Clinton did and the MSM slobbered all over. Tony Snow will make sure that future ops are more accurately EXPLAINED to the public, I'm sure. ;)

The MSM ignores the fact that the WOT has been and will continue to be made up of "missions." Any of the firefights we've engaged in have been separate "missions" and when we're done kicking @ss, that "mission" is "accomplished."

It ain't that hard to figure out. :)

[Skooz]

bump for see BS stupidity

[1Old Pro]

Having witnessed the way the MSM has twisted the meaning of the "Mission Accomplished" banner/speech etc. I find it very easy to understand how Hitler used his media and propaganda to trick a whole nation.

The MSM is truly evil in mind and spirit and intent.

[D-Chivas]

While we all know the truth behind the whole "Mission Accomplished" banner and what it represented (removal of Saddam Hussein from power), the Left and the LSM will continue to lie about what THEY think it means.

[ASA Vet]

See my profile page for several photos from that event.

[bondjamesbond]

They cite the speech, but apparently nobody at CBS knows how to read the speech. Everything President Bush said in that speech has come to pass.

[roses of sharon]

And the American people continue to be bamboozled by the MSM/DNC.

[jayef]

Obviously, the media thinks the mission was a stable government in Iraq. For some reason they all think we should be shocked that this was not accomplished in 5 weeks.

[Jonah Johansen]

Have you noticed that debunking a myth/totally refuting a talking point/totally discrediting a source no longer is the end of it. If the falsehood serves to advance the main stream media's agenda then it will just keep using it.

Joe Wilson gets booted from the Kerry campaign when the Senate Intelligence report exposes him as a liar. year later he is back as if none of that happened.

[Earthdweller]

Saddam is on trial..what else need be said.
