From ABC News of 30 April 2008:

White House admits fault on 'Mission Accomplished' banner
"Major combat operations in Iraq have ended," Bush said at the time. "The battle of Iraq is one victory in a war on terror that began on Sept. 11, 2001, and still goes on." The "Mission Accomplished" banner was prominently displayed above him - a move the White House came to regret as the display was mocked and became a source of controversy. ...

Now in its sixth year, the war in Iraq has claimed the lives of at least 4,061 members of the U.S. military. Only the Vietnam War (August 1964 to January 1973), the war in Afghanistan (October 2001 to present) and the Revolutionary War (July 1776 to April 1783) have engaged America longer.

3.5 years to create, train, and deply armies all over the world and win every war. Six years and George Jr cannot even conquer one innocet nation? Meanwhile, when do we go after bin Laden? Mission Accomplished. Protect the bogeyman.
