After weeks of Democratic assaults that President
Bush was a nitwit
for declaring "mission accomplished" in Iraq during his May 1 landing
and victory speech on the USS Abraham Lincoln, the White House is bidding to
set the story straight. The issue should be a simple one: Bush never uttered
those words. "The president," argues communications boss Dan Bartlett,
"said exactly the opposite: The mission continues." But Bush stood
under a banner declaring "mission accomplished." Why? Bartlett says
that the Lincoln's captain had the banner made up to thank his crew for the
longest-ever carrier tour, not to declare the war over. Charles Mims |
