Mission Accomplished

I was thinking about this for some reason today... maybe it's because there may actually be light at the end of the tunnel. Maybe it's because we've only got a year left of what will almost certainly go down as one of the worst tenures in the White House. (Yeah, we know, people said similar things about Truman, but you know what... they also said that about Jimmy Carter, Richard Nixon, James Buchanan, and Ulysses S. Grant).

Anyway, I'm watching it, and looking back four plus years later, Bush looks utterly ridiculous in that flight suit. Maybe at the time it didn't seem so ridiculous, but now it looks silly. Sort of like a 5 year old girl dressing up as a princess.



The coverage of the event is interesting. I don't really know how to describe it. Things seem deceptively quiet, sort of like being in the eye of a hurricane. No matter, here is Bush saying Mission Accomplished. Just a bit outside...

We are close to victory in a stable Iraq yet the left clings to their views. Iraq will not be a good campaign issue for the Dems in '08.

It appears that things have gone from "Hell" to "Pretty effin' bad" in Iraq, which as I said, is an improvement. But it's still a pretty piss poor situation, and nearly five years since we went into Iraq, I think most Americans are tired of what they hear on the news - it will be an issue. And where the Presidential hopefuls stood before the war will also be an issue.

"Worst tenures in the WH"
This from a guy who only remembers Bush and Clinton. Kudos!
