It was not his mistake, however, according to CBS News political analyst Dan Bartlett, a former senior advisor to Mr. Bush. Asked this morning by Harry Smith, co-anchor of CBS' The Early Show, who was responsible for the banner ? Smith pointed out that both the Navy and former White House Press Secretary Scott McClellan have taken the blame in the past ? Bartlett said that it was actually his call. "Quite frankly, yours truly was the guy who actually signed off" on posting the banner, Bartlett said, after people on the aircraft carrier approached the White House with the idea. "I regret it to this day, because it did send the wrong message." So, you don't know who signed off on the banner, but you know it was Bush..Riiiight... Yes, it was.

On 10/26/11 7:12 AM, Eisboch wrote: "iBoaterer" wrote in message ... Like "hope and change" or "yes we can" Don't knock stupid slogans. They worked for one clown. Yeah, they did. "Mission Accomplished". -------------------------------------------------- This myth keeps being perpetuated by the media and those who like to bash Bush as if he was declaring the end of the war in Iraq. The "Mission Accomplished" banner displayed on the USS Abraham Lincoln had nothing to do with Iraq, despite what the media and Bush haters would like to believe. US Naval ships often deploy on long term "cruises" that typically last for 4-6 months or more away from their home port. Each of these cruises have a specific "mission". The mission is unique to the ship or the task force that it is part of. Navy tradition includes a celebration of sorts by the ship (or task force) to acknowledge that their specific, unique "Mission" has come to an end and the ship(s) are returning to their home ports and families. On smaller ships tradition often includes mounting a broom upside down somewhere on the mast to indicate a "clean sweep" in the performance of the unique cruise or mission. When Bush visited the Abraham Lincoln, the aircraft carrier had just been relieved by another carrier and was on it's way back to it's home port. The "Mission Accomplished" banner on the ship was in celebration of the end of it's specific cruise and not the end of the Iraq war. Eisboch (10 year Navy veteran) Some years ago, I read somewhere that it was the Navy's idea to put the sign up because Bush was coming aboard and that the White House got the sign made. The entire event was a Bush media circus, including the part when he landed on the carrier in a jet with a Navy pilot. ------------------------------------------------ It's a big deal ... even on a nuke aircraft carrier .... to have the Commander in Chief come aboard. I was on a couple of small ships and we were once visited by the Secretary of the Navy. I thought the Captain was going to **** a brick getting the ship prepared for his visit. I am sure the CO of the Lincoln did everything he could to make Bush's visit memorable. But again, I repeat ... flying the broom or celebrating the successful completion of a ship's long term cruise and mission is traditional. In this case it was not intended to celebrate a victory in Iraq. The media reports and interpretations over the years have made it what many now view it as. Eisboch Anyway, twist and turn If that were so, how come Bush, in his own words, made excuses, saying it was because it was an end to major fighting, but the fight must go on? And why did Bush aide Dan Bartlett take blame as well as Press Secretary Scott McClellan? Because you progressives need to be coddled... What the **** is THAT supposed to mean? And what the **** makes you think I'm a "progressive"?? Oh, I know why, it's because you extreme right wingers are so narrow minded that you think anybody who is even slightly left of center on some issues is just insanely liberal. You should look in the mirror! You've become so far to the right that you don't even make sense anymore. You post here about things that are in your head that just isn't true. Your insane rant about no people of color in the protester's ranks for one. |

It was not his mistake, however, according to CBS News political analyst Dan Bartlett, a former senior advisor to Mr. Bush. Asked this morning by Harry Smith, co-anchor of CBS' The Early Show, who was responsible for the banner ? Smith pointed out that both the Navy and former White House Press Secretary Scott McClellan have taken the blame in the past ? Bartlett said that it was actually his call. "Quite frankly, yours truly was the guy who actually signed off" on posting the banner, Bartlett said, after people on the aircraft carrier approached the White House with the idea. "I regret it to this day, because it did send the wrong message." So, you don't know who signed off on the banner, but you know it was Bush..Riiiight... Yes, it was. If you think Bush didn't know about it, you have got your head in the sand so far you can see China. Oh, now "he knew about it"... So, the Navy requested it, I get it... You are completely insane!!!!! Bush ADMITTED knowing about it, Rumsfield ADMITTED knowing about it and trying to get Bush to not use the banner. Bush's aide has admitted having a hand in it as well as Bush's Press Sectretary. Do you REALLY think that Bush didn't know about it? Even after Rumsfield tried to talk him out of it????? Who requested it, the Navy and so what if Bush didn't think it was a bad idea or have someone pull it down as he walked to the podium? Bull, let's talk about "Fast and Furious" if you want to talk about things folks knew about and lied about too... Changing the subject, ala Harry again, I see. And the only thing the Navy requested was that the White House have it made. not at all changing the subject. You say President Bush had it made, I say the Navy requested he do that... I have a pair of matched pistols, revolver 45's, actually...if you and iLoogy would like to settle your disputes with each like men, arrangements could be made. All I ask is the video rights. |

Why did we need the surge since the US and allies had prevailed? ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- With due respect (and I have a *lot* of it) to those who fought, died and were injured in Iraq following the initial, US led attacks ..... you have a different idea in your mind as to what "major" combat operations are when compared to a military definition. What happened after the invasion and conclusion of the military major operation was basically a civil war in which we .... having sparked the fuse .... were obligated to remain involved in. What ended was massive, around the clock air sorties and the overwhelming ground invasion and penetration into Bagdad and other major Iraqi cities which forced Saddam and most of his henchmen into hiding. Over 9,000 air sorties by American warplanes were conducted during this time frame. In military circles *that* was the major combat operation. Your definition may be different, but Bush was referring to the military definition and not what happened after ... much of which was not anticipated or even planned for. |

Why did we need the surge since the US and allies had prevailed? ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- With due respect (and I have a *lot* of it) to those who fought, died and were injured in Iraq following the initial, US led attacks ..... you have a different idea in your mind as to what "major" combat operations are when compared to a military definition. What happened after the invasion and conclusion of the military major operation was basically a civil war in which we .... having sparked the fuse .... were obligated to remain involved in. What ended was massive, around the clock air sorties and the overwhelming ground invasion and penetration into Bagdad and other major Iraqi cities which forced Saddam and most of his henchmen into hiding. Over 9,000 air sorties by American warplanes were conducted during this time frame. In military circles *that* was the major combat operation. Your definition may be different, but Bush was referring to the military definition and not what happened after ... much of which was not anticipated or even planned for. Shock and awe was certainly the big show but the real war didn't start until our troops went into Bagdhad. Major combat operations resulted in how many American deaths? Minor combat operations cost over 5,000 lives, tens of thousans of injured and over a million Iraqis dead or displaced. Semantics may be skillfully used to frame an argument but they don't make the argument either accurate or truthful. |

There's also a lot of broad-brush accounts of very complex and detailed issues by Monday morning quarterbacks. |
