McSame And The Happy Anniversary

Five years goes by so quickly. Maybe we won't even notice the passage of the next hundred.

May you all have a wonderful Mission Accomplished Day.

The current resident will try to spin this away and blame the crew of the Lincoln for the banner. Let's remember his words from that day so he can't weasel again.

Thank you all very much. 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.

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. (Applause.)

Status quo is as status quo does. Do you suppose he's even asked why 60% of us want our troops out of Iraq? Or do you suppose he's just another incurious candidate?
