Now that it is painfully apparent that the mission in Iraq - whatever it is - is far from over, the President has disavowed what, at the time, was hailed as one of the most dramatic "photo ops" ever staged for an American politician. When he pulled this stunt, I thought this was the icing on the cake. Bush does what I consider to be a wrong move......attacking Iraq pre emptively.....and he's going to get away with it and showboat to boot. As it turns out, there is a God. "The ‘Mission Accomplished’ sign, of course, was put up by the members of the U.S.S. Abraham Lincoln, saying their mission was accomplished," Mr. Bush asserted during a Rose Garden news conference. "I know it was attributed somehow to some ingenious advance man from my staff. They weren’t that ingenious, by the way." This surely was a Pinocchio moment for the President but, amazingly, his nose didn’t seem to grow one bit. And the White House press corps, polite to a fault, didn’t erupt in a well-deserved chant of "Liar, liar, pants on fire!" There are no end to his lies. That must have been his major at Yale. BTW posting to SI has become a little problematical since yesterday. I am unclear why this post went through and others haven't. ted
