""Mission Accomplished was for the sailors who had just accomplished their mission at sea. The phrase had NOTHING to do with the mission being accomplished in Iraq.""

Guys, you're talking to ME here. That spin is less than 4 months old.

However, I won't mention our victory again (or the fact that we did acheive it and Bush was absolutely correct).

BTW, what mission DID those sailors accomplish? It must have been a pretty big one for the president of the United States to fly out to their ship with the world press in tow.

I think this was the first carrier to return from Iraq. They did accomplish a mission, 1. Their planes flew into Iraq and Aphfanistan and bombed them. 2. Some of their missiles were used to help soften up the enemy. Yes, they had a mission and did it well. It was the first ship to return from that area and the President thanked them for a job well done.
