Where is the story about the Benghazi cover up? What about the intelligence that said that the Ambassador kept asking for protection? Where is the story about arms being supplied to Syria through Benghazi? The main stream media is certainly quiet about Obama’s lack of leadership – he was too busy on The View and in Las Vegas fund raising while 4 Americans died. Where’s the story???

Yeah the press mischaracterized EVERY STUPID thing done by gw bush because he was really a genius. I love the way these people keep trying to back up and CHANGE history when it comes to the MANY idiotic things that bush did in his two terms. I especially like the question posed to gw towards the end of his second term when asked what his best day was as President and the jerk answers that he caught some freeking big fish – yeah georgie, THAT was really something great for our Nation. WORST President in US History was gw bush!!!!

There were a lot of facts that were twisted by the President Bush Haters. Propaganda spread with no facts behind it.

I remember the speech, and, although the sign is NOT for Bush’s speech, it WAS a good sign to go with the message. Why ANYONE is bringing up this as an important subject is weird.

My post was deleted by design. That’s understandable but I will say again, why this article now not in 2003. The GOP and Independents need to stay focus on JOBS, NATIONAL DEFICIT, GOVERMENT SPENDING

Billy Bob Jimbo wrote, “If you are a liberal with a peanut sized brain than you will believe that mission accomplished was referring to the war being won and over with. Of course the rest of us know what was implied.”

LOL! So you are in the ‘the rest of us’ group that has a peanut sized brain and ‘knows what was implied’ here. Hilarious.

Being a Liberal with a normal human-sized brain, I understand exactly what GW and his team was trying to portray with that photo op. Regardless of what the people on the ship meant, GW and his team usurped that message by plopping Bush onto that carrier and making sure he was smack dab in the center of the banner for his speechifying. Basically he stepped on the military personnel there in order to get his photo ops………..

Well Billy bob, if you figured out that the mission accomplished manner really didn’t mean mission accomplished then you must have figured out that Iraq had no WMDs, right? Next you’re going to tell us the illegal war was fought for freedom or just so we could save Arabs from a terrible dictator. Us liberals recognize what happened here and this is why it is such a shameful mark on our great country. We are the true patriots dragging you into the 21st century and holding the bush admin accountable for the atrocity of the Iraq war. Shameful.

Many of us knew at the time exactly what the ‘Mission Accomplished’ banner referred to, and were enraged at the deliberate distortion by the presstitutes who rarely get anything right.

For instance even in this story the ‘jour-no-list’ gets it wrong when he writes, “…President Bush landed a fixed-wing aircraft aboard the Abraham Lincoln…”

I wouldn’t be surprised if GWB actually flew the plane in flight for some brief period of time, but to state that he landed it on the carrier shows, well, to be charitable, a total and complete lack of understanding as to how the military operates and what is involved in making a carrier landing – the President of the United States would NOT be at the controls of a plane landing on an aircraft carrier, which is ALWAYS an extremely dangerous operation requiring constant training. I suppose this ‘jour-no-list’ would have no problem writing about how Obama killed Osama, too…

Look again, the Former President is aligned to the center of the banner, like a caption over his head. His head has a slight “Halo” for the round part of the superstructure… yet they say they were not trying to send a message of accomplishment for the President… but for the sailors aboard the ship?

Why were they not centered under the banner? Do all you can to recover from getting caught, but the intent is quite clear.
