No, I don't remember the words of our President on his arrival on the
carrier, please provide a verifiable quote of them. I do recall the banner,
but I do not recall Bush saying "Mission accomplished!"

No, he didn't use those precise words. All he said was that the combat phase of
the war was over. Find the quote yourself.....you can use Google as easily as I
can.

I know it's a struggle for you to stay on topic, but we were talking about a
post-war mess. If you want to call that a war, you ought to let the
President know because he thinks it's over.

How do you know the President thinks the war is over? Did he convey this to
you directly? If not, you should be able to provide a verifiable quote to
that effect. Please do so

The press reported what he said, i.e. - "the combat phase of the war was over".
