No, it would not be worse. Bush was referring to something which had
already happened: 2.7% of the actual goal had been achieved when he
said "mission accomplished".


What goal?

To the crew of the ship, *their* current deployment mission had been
accomplished.
You still don't get it.

See how the meaning of words (and even actions) can be received
differently than they were sent? A pretty huge chunk of the country read
the Shrub's little show differently than you did. There's more, though:
The president does NOTHING in public view that wasn't planned for effect.
I seriously doubt his minders didn't take into account the various
meanings that little show might have to the world.


You obviously know very little about the military.
That's ok though. Others take care of it for you.

The reason a pretty huge chunk of the country read the Shrub's little show
differently is because the media wants them to read it differently. And
people like you jump right into line.

And you're obviously assuming "the military", meaning all soldiers, did NOT
think the "mission accomplished" statement was premature, or just plain
absurd.
