"You saying he didn't say that?" Nope, Bush never said "Mission Accomplished". That's a fact. The was "Mission Accomplished" banner for the men & women on the USS Abraham Lincoln who were completing a long tour of duty. Read the whole speech linked below. So much for those "beyond outstanding" reading comprehension skills..... "Americans, following a battle, want nothing more than to return home. And that is your direction tonight. (Applause.) After service in the Afghan -- and Iraqi theaters of war -- after 100,000 miles, on the longest carrier deployment in recent history, you are homeward bound. (Applause.) Some of you will see new family members for the first time -- 150 babies were born while their fathers were on the Lincoln. Your families are proud of you, and your nation will welcome you." (Applause.)
