White House Spokeswoman: Bush's 'Mission Accomplished' Speech "Widely Misconstrued"

Dana Perino bristled when asked about Bush's veto of a bill

Washington Post | William Branigin, Jonathan Weisman | May 1, 2007 at 06:30 PM

In a news briefing on board Air Force One en route to Florida, White House spokeswoman Dana Perino bristled when asked about Bush's veto of a bill that Democrats are sending him on the fourth anniversary of a speech in which he prematurely declared an end to major combat operations.

"Even though the Democrats won't say so on the record, it is a trumped-up political stunt that is the height of cynicism, and it's very disturbing to think that they possibly held up this money for the troops and the troops' families and the resources they need to try some PR stunt on this day," Perino said.

The speech four years ago "has been widely misconstrued, and I encourage people to go back and read it," she said. "The president did say we had a long and difficult road ahead of us. We're moving from a dictatorship to democracy."

3. trumped up political stunt?

hmmm...did congress get dressed up in a flight suit and proclaim mission accomplished to an adoring press? Or did I miss something?

What happened was Bush refused to provide funding for the troops that Congress voted in favor of. Why? Because he didn't want any limits on the length of the Iraq Fiasco.

In any case, Congress voted to fund the troops. Bush said no to the funding.
