The “Mission Accomplished” banner applies to the carrier group returning from it’s deployment - you will see all kinds of banners displayed when units return home from missions. The “debacle” is that the MSM and democrats have further advanced this canard among many others in their efforts to smear Bush. Let us see Harry Reid’s “The Surge is not Working” banner next time he speaks in the Senate.

I just want to make sure we really defeated Al qaeda and not end up with a major explosion the day after declaring victory.

I’d like to see at least 3 months of minimal activity before saying anything that could be used against us

So you don’t want to celebrate before the work is done ?

Hard to believe that this needs explanation.

actually, I would love to see Bush honor the military in a big ceremony next year with a HUGE "Mission Accomplished" banner above the podium. Our military deserves the recognition, and it would enrage the lib's so much it would be funny to watch.

Nancy, Harry & Co start up on Turkey in order to deal a devastating backhand blow to our troops...

Tit for tat?

Sounds to me like the Post is pandering openly to Al Qaeda to "send more troops"....

Here's hoping they do because I do not believe Al Qaeda has had it's fill yet...

Here's also to hoping Petreaus launches another big push to absolutely choke the life out of Al Qaeda In Iraq so we can devote our full attention to the new arrivals.
