Another bad Mission Accomplished explanation.

War Room’s Tim Grieve notes that White House spokeswoman Dana Perino emphasized today that President Bush never used the words “Mission Accomplished” — but then argued “we did prevail.”

PERINO: Let me just remind everybody, in case you need it, that speech there, I encourage people to read it. The president never said ‘mission accomplished.’ I realize that the banner said ‘mission accomplished.’ That was specific to the mission of that ship. They were supposed to be deployed for six months. They were deployed well beyond that. <…>

Q: He did say: “In the battle of Iraq, the United States and our allies have prevailed.”

PERINO: We did prevail, in terms of toppling the Iraqi army and Saddam Hussein. And several months later, 12 million Iraqis voted for a new government and a constitution. And things looked very promising.

2. The president never said misison accomplished? the pres never said iraq was responsible for

9/11? These mofos need to be under oath URGENTLY, and not fighting for their jobs, but fighting for the right to stay out of gitmo for the rest of their lives.

3. Then we f**cked up

and that's how things are today, folks, mired somewhere between, "We prevailed" and "We lost."

Makes a lot of sense, doesn't it?

5. Even at this stage, I might have an iota of respect for Bush if he would...

admit that he is a dumb a**.

Say that and work on solving the mess he has caused. Why not?

Of course, admitting mistakes ist verboten.

6. Hey Perino! "Mission Accomplished" had nothing to do with the ship.

You lying twit, and you kiss your mother with that mouth? Lie, obfuscate, and lie some more. The "ends" you work so hard for will never be worth the cost to your soul.

George - Bush Fibber in Chief, Dana Perino - lying twit in residence.
