Busting the myths of the left....

   ....is like [1]shooting fish in a barrel.

     In Part II (original here) of my exposing the anti-war folk in this
     country for the lying manipulators they are, I'm going to expose
     the TRUTH behind the whole "Mission Accomplished" issue when George
     Bush was aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln
     I've said it enough here about how the banner was designed by the
     carrier group and provided by the White House. It was a symbol of
     the mission that the group had accomplished - the longest
     deployment for the carrier in history had come to a close as a
     success. However, everyone that I've talked to who has tried to
     convince me that Bush is a liar points to this banner. They say
     that Bush declared success in Iraq over four years ago on that
     carrier. They must have been watching TV with their volume muted
     and couldn't take their eyes off the banner to come to that
     conclusion.
     Bush was pretty clear about what was really accomplished:

     Admiral Kelly, Captain Card, officers and sailors of the USS
     Abraham Lincoln, my fellow Americans: Major combat operations in
     Iraq have ended. In the battle of Iraq, the United States and our
     allies have prevailed. (Applause.) And now our coalition is engaged
     in securing and reconstructing that country.

   It isn't just the left that repeats this lie. The media repeats it
   constantly, without comment. Like many lies, it's become received
   wisdom in the media, a "truth" repeated without thought or
   investigation.
