MISSION NOT ACCOMPLISHED Banner Tonight?
Mission Not Accomplished is the banner that Smirk should have up for his speech tonight.

Remember this one:
Bush calls end to 'major combat'
U.S. Central Command: Seven hurt in Fallujah grenade attack

"Operation Iraqi Freedom was carried out with a combination of precision, speed and boldness the enemy did not expect," President Bush said Thursday night.


ABOARD USS ABRAHAM LINCOLN (CNN) -- From the flight deck of the USS Abraham Lincoln, President Bush announced in a nationally televised address that "major combat operations in Iraq have ended."

1. George may be speechifyin but all I hear is a scratchy Over There

"Vintage Audio: Over There
Updated - Saturday, 2 August, 2003

Reproduced below are the lyrics to America's best-known World War One song, Over There. Written by George M. Cohan the song was widely performed by various artists (initially by Charles King) from its publication in 1917.

Cohan later recalled that the words and music to the song came to him while travelling by train from New Rochelle to New York shortly after the U.S. had declared war against Germany in April 1917.

Just as It's a Long Way to Tipperary was a smash-hit success during the early days of the war in Europe, so Over There proved a nationwide hit in the months immediately following America's enthusiastic entry into the war.

Cohan himself was formally recognised by Congress with the award of the U.S. Congressional Medal of Honor - albeit in 1940.

Three versions of the song are available here: the first by Billy Murray recorded in 1917 (MP3 format 628kb) - click here; the second by Nora Bayes, similarly recorded in 1917 - click here; and a version recorded by the renowned tenor Enrico Caruso in 1918 "

2. no, more of a "C'mon, I lied, so scampish" banner
I only hope that someone edits the aircraft carrier speech and
while * is talking, moves the letters on the banner around.

The Dems should simply play this as a response. Followed by a
call for *'s impeachment.
