Resume elevator music.

Obama is not LBJ, he inherited this war from Bush. Afghanistan is Obama's Vietnam however, due to the latest surge.

This is a LIE perpetrated by the liberal media. The "mission accomplished" banner was hung on the aircraft carrier because IT had just completed its six month tour of the gulf and was returning to base. The banner had absolutely NOTHING to do with the Iraq War or President Bush's visit to congratuate the sailers for a job well done.

The media onboard the ship asked about the banner and the correct answer was given. THE MEDIA chose to twist the meaning of the banner and claim the banner meant that President Bush was claiming that the Iraq War was done.

In other words, that banner had nothing to do with the manner in which the Bush PR spinners portayed it.

Funny that you should bring up the Bush Administration, because the term used by the OP, "refudiated," sounds like classic Bush-speak.

Yo, OP, did you mean "refuted" or "repudiated?" Some of us still speak English here.

Only Iraq turned around and awarded the leases to China.

What Nixon did was child's play compared to modern politicians.
