Since it was 7 years ago, Bush is no longer in office, and the "Mission Accomplished" banner referred to the mission of the SHIP, why should we care?
All you have to do is to listen or reads Bush's words to know thats not true...
Thank you. Thank you all very much.
Admiral Kelly, Captain Card, officers and sailors of the USS Abraham Lincoln, my fellow Americans, major combat operations in Iraq have ended. In the battle of Iraq, the United States and our allies have prevailed.
And now our coalition is engaged in securing and reconstructing that country.
In this battle, we have fought for the cause of liberty and for the peace of the world. Our nation and our coalition are proud of this accomplishment, yet it is you, the members of the United States military, who achieved it. Your courage, your willingness to face danger for your country and for each other made this day possible.
Because of you our nation is more secure. Because of you the tyrant has fallen and Iraq is free.
Operation Iraqi Freedom was carried out with a combination of precision and speed and boldness the enemy did not expect and the world had not seen before.
From distant bases or ships at sea, we sent planes and missiles that could destroy an enemy division or strike a single bunker. Marines and soldiers charged to Baghdad across 350 miles of hostile ground in one of the swiftest advances of heavy arms in history.

You can watch it yourself (BTW, he was using a teleprompter)
The defeat of Iraq's military by our forces. That did happen you know. Remember when we rolled into Bagdad uncontested, after whipping their butts for a few weeks? An end to major combat, yes indeed.
The mission won't be accomplished until Bush and Cheney are
prosecuted for their war crimes.
