or did he wait until the war was actually over?

I dunno...Did the New York Times start calling it a "Quagmire" when the Nazis punched us in the nose at the Ardennes?

FDR's "Mission Accomplished" was when he goaded the Japanese into attacking us so that he would have a pretext for war to distract everyone from the fact that his economic policies were failures, and before everyone realized that he was the one prolonging the depression.
Hey, it sure solved the unemployment problem though, didn't it? Killing off three hundred thousand or so Americans sure worked wonders at the bread lines.

Bush thought it would be another over-before-you-know-it '91 Gulf war. Boy, was he ever wrong. I bet you anything that Bush has privately wished that he never went into Iraq.
Look at the number of troops that died when Bush landed on the aircraft carrier and then the number of troops that died after the "mission was accomplished" even now when the war will last for many more years. Bush would probably still be saying "stay the course" in Iraq 100 years from now.

FDR's mission was accomplished as soon as we attacked Germany and created a war time economy. Crack a book.

The true meaning behind that now famous "mission accomplished" banner was that the servicemen on that particular ship had accomplished their individual mission, and they were on their way home. That was the meaning behind the banner. It wasn't supposed to mean that the entire war was over. The media twisted the story to try to make Bush look bad.

He died before June 6, 1944. Only George Bush would proclaim mission accomplished prematurely.

FDR died of a stroke in Hot Springs,Arkansas in April,1945 so,unfortunately,he did not live to see the end of WWII.

He passed before he saw that day, but it wasn't over there until the soliders were back over here
