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.

Apparently you can't use it at all, since you have once again lied about
what the exact wording the President used. I say lie because you have
recently been playing pretty loose with your "facts" in these arguments.
Hardly surprising given your single-minded, Pavlovian anti-Bush squawks of
late--"facts" would be inconvenient for your rants, right? His actual words
were, "Admiral Kelly, Captain Card, officers and sailors of the USS Abraham
Lincoln, my fellow Americans, major combat operations in Iraq have ended. In
the battle of Iraq, the United States and our allies have prevailed. And now
our coalition is engaged in securing and reconstructing that country...We
have difficult work to do in Iraq. We're bringing order to parts of that
country that remain dangerous...The transition from dictatorship to
democracy will take time, but it is worth every effort. Our coalition will
stay until our work is done and then we will leave and we will leave behind
a free Iraq..."

Gee, when you look at what he REALLY said, as opposed to your self-serving
"translation" of his remarks inot a different context", it looks like he was
pretty accurate. The "major combat phase", where our servicemembers
confronted the Iraqi regular military and tossed its leader from power,
*was* over. And the "securing and reconstructing" portion of the overall
mission has been difficult and dangerous, as he said. So just what the hell
are you differing with him about here, Georgie?


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".
Find the quote yourself.....you can use Google as easily as I can.

Another lie from Georgie, who since he claims to know how to use Google,
should have been able to come up with the accurate wording himself; had you
just been plain ignorant of the president's actual wording, we could call it
a mistake, but since you know how to find the transcript and still choose to
misquote him, that makes you a liar.
