The ship was so close to shore they asked the captain to turn it around so the camera angle would not catch the coastline in the horizon. And the return to port was delayed by a day to keep the ship far enough out to allow Bush his photo op. This has all been documented.
Click here for some referenes. Now we are asked to believe the White House had no control over the banner in the camera shot, right behind Bush? It's dual meaning, success for the ship, and in the war, was intentional. I think they were very successful in the assault on Baghdad, so I don't see why they are backing off of this. The only problem is they were too fucking greedy to give up control once the true US mission was accomplished. Why do we need complete control of the rebuilding effort when we have little to no recent experience, but the UN does?
(Okay, we all know the answer to that one, Halliburton).
