If you'll notice, i've never posted anything political on this thread except in reply to someone else who posted something political. Why do you say something to me about political stuff instead of the person who started it?

Top 11 administration explanations for the "Mission Accomplished" banner on the U.S.S. Abraham Lincoln.

1. The crew thought it would be a great idea to have a message banner with the same background that they saw when they took a break from the war to watch Dubya address job creation in Canton, Ohio the week before.

2. Typo. It was supposed to read, "The first step on a long road that will still cost hundreds of U.S. lives and hundreds of billions of dollars.

3. "Spontaneous Generation."

4. It was the only thing available to cover the vandalism left behind by departing Clinton staffers.

5. Dubya is infallible. The person transmitting to his "hearing-aid" misrepresented the story of the banner.

6. Dubya soiled the alternate "Bush 2004" banner during the carrier landing.

7. What banner?

8. "Mission Accomplished" referred not to Iraq, but to getting an image into the national consciousness to undermine the evidence that Dubya was A.W.O.L. from the Texas Air National Guard for more than a year.

9. Banner still hanging since the Lincoln's previous deployment.

10. Okay, we had our advance guy on the ship to choreograph every detail. We approved the slogan and we made the banner to bring to the ship, but we didn't "sign-off" on it.

11. It depends on what your definition of the word "accomplished" is.
