If you read the President’s speech from that day, you will find that he talked a great deal about how much work was still left to do in Iraq.
"We have difficult work to do in Iraq. We are bringing order to parts of that country that remain dangerous. We are pursuing and finding leaders of the old regime, who will be held to account for their crimes. We have begun the search for hidden chemical and biological weapons, and already know of hundreds of sites that will be investigated. We are helping to rebuild Iraq, where the dictator built palaces for himself, instead of hospitals and schools. And we will stand with the new leaders of Iraq as they establish a government of, by, and for the Iraqi people. The transition from dictatorship to democracy will take time, but it is worth every effort. Our coalition will stay until our work is done. And then we will leave — and we will leave behind a free Iraq. "
The only thing he lied about was standing with the Iraqis and staying until the work was done ... but it was Reid and Pelosi that made liars out of him, not himself.
The thing that's always gnawed at me about that danged banner is that it was right: For the sailors on that ship, their mission was accomplished.
“If you read the President’s speech from that day, you will find that he talked a great deal about how much work was still left to do in Iraq”
Ahh but they wouldn’t let a little thing like the facts get in the way of their agenda.
