Commenting on the death of Osama Bin Laden, Rep. Gary Ackerman has gloated: "this is the 'Mission Accomplished' moment President Bush only fantasized about." Could the Dem from New York have gotten the inspiration for his taunt from Andrea Mitchell?
The question arises because in the run-up to President Obama's announcement last night, Mitchell said something similar, if not quite as pointedly partisan.
Not only did Mitchell throw Mission Accomplished in Pres. Bush's face, she also, for purposes of taking another slap at Pres. Bush, misrepresented the history of Tora Bora. Mitchell claimed that John Kerry made it a 2004 campaign issue on the basis that OBL could have been killed or captured there "if troops had not been moved to Iraq." But the Battle of Tora Bora took place in 2001 and the Iraq war didn't start until 2003.

Andrea Mitchell mocks Pres. Bush with Mission Accomplished reminder. Ping to Today show list.
I heard it. Another one said the same. Couric said Obama did in 28 months what Bush failed to do in 8 years.
I would love to piss on this people.
Ok. Then demand the troops come home.
Somebody ought to bitch slap Mrs. Greenspan............
And yet these people whine and boo hoo how everyone is “split” and there’s no consensus. Wonder why there’s dissension?
The biggest mistake conservatives etc can make is to jump on the “ra ra USA” bandwagon or give Obama ANY credit.
The comment should be “what took so long?” and “ yeah, well what about $5 gas, a shi$$y economy, no jobs, etc etc” oh and what about that fraudulent BC?
Never let up! This is ALL politics with this guy and his supporters. They couldn’t give a rats ass about America.
Mitchell. I haven’t heard that prize skank’s name in a while.
I just heard that it took Israel 15 years to find Eichmann. These people are idiots. They talk just to hear themselves talk and it seems that everytime they open their mouths they just show how ignorant they are.
Just saw a satirical picture on face book where GWB is standing at the podium with the Mission Accomplished sign behind him, and zero’s head is leaning in from the side so you can’t see GWB. /barf
That means it's all George Bush's fault.
So the Democrat running dog lackeys of Osama Bin Ladin like Andrea Mitchell and Gary Ackermann can just go to Hell.
I am just waiting for the United States Milary men and women to tell the real story and motivation behind tracking down and killing OBL.
Obama had nothing to do with this happening. It was the dedication of those who have been in the field since 9/11.
If Obama had his way we would have never gotten the itel from Gitmo to track OBL down.
This SPIN is making me sooooo upset.
The reality is that GWB Mission has been accomplished and unfortunately on Obama’s “watch”.
The only thing that Obama is “watching” is how to capitalize on any and every event possible to insure his reelection in 2012.

“I just heard that it took Israel 15 years to find Eichmann.”
Yeah...and we never caught Poncho Villa either...
Let’s see the building permit!
The Bush administration started trying to dig out of that hole immediately but the image was too good to pass up.
Remember, Bush told us immediately after September 11, 2001 that it was going to be a long war that would take years and would be fought mainly in the shadows. Now why would he say something totally different less than two years later?
Note to the Mitchell B*tch and the Ackerman Assh*le: If it wasn’t for “Rendition”, Gitmo, and Enhanced Interogation, all hallmarks of George Bush’s LEADERSHIP and GUTS, Bin Laden would still be walking this earth.
Sounded last night that Obamao did the deed all by himself , with one hand tied behind his back.
What a narcissist! New book coming out “How I Killed Bin Laden singlehandedly, with one hand tied behind my sorry Ass”
