First let me thank you for your service & sacrifice for our country.

Below is the link to President Bush's speech. It thoroughly discredits the leftist's "Mission Accomplished" lie.

Note: The Mission Accomplished banner was for this (quote from Bush's speech);

Other nations in history have fought in foreign lands and
remained to occupy and exploit. 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.

<< "Nice catch, wonder if anyone ever reported that side of the story...." >>

Sure, Fox covered it responsibly as did most of the conservative blogosphere.

Did any of the MSM?

Hell no! If anything they helped make the myth liberal fact.

That's why the myth lives on.
