When Bush Stated "Mission Accomplished" What exactly did that mean?

Answer 1

In his tiny mind, he wanted idiots (Conservatives mostly) to believe the war has been won and was over. It's three and a half years later and the war isn't close to being over. Can you say "the new Vietnam"? About bringing Democracy to Iraq, that's hogwash. If he wants to bring Democracy to a country, he should try bringing it to the good old US of A. Most Americans think they live in a Democracy. It's never been a Democracy. It was founded as a Republic. "... and to the Republic for which it stands...". Ever heard of James Madison? He once said, "Democracy is the most vile form of government... democracies have ever been spectacles of turbulence and contention: have ever been found incompatible with personal security or the rights of property: and have in general been as short in their lives as they have been violent in their deaths."

Answer 2

A relief from a bout of constipation.? As understood by our society's many sufferers. Poor diet, lack of exercise etc. Compared with so many good answers this is offered humbly rather than scatologically. Success on what I believe the Americans call the john.
Dizzy

Answer 3

The introductory paragraph from the speech: "Admiral Kelly, Captain Card, officers and sailors of the united statesAbraham Lincoln, my fellow individuals: considerable attempt against operations in Iraq have ended. in the conflict of Iraq, america and our allies have prevailed. And now our coalition is engaged in securing and reconstructing that united states. " basically, it meant that the Iraqi protection stress have been defeated (the "considerable attempt against operations" referenced), and the united statesLincoln's "challenge" in help of those operatons became into "accomplished." The final element of the 8th paragraph of the speech: "The transition from dictatorship to democracy will take time, despite the fact that that's worth each and every attempt. Our coalition will stay till our paintings is finished. and then we are able to bypass away — and we are able to bypass away at the back of a unfastened Iraq." He became into not asserting that the U.S. became into accomplished in Iraq... merely that the Iraqi protection stress became into now not a stress of attention.

Answer 4

He meant that the mission to remove Saddam Hussein from power was accomplished. If you read the entire speech and not just two words that were on a sign, you will see that he understood that there was still more that needed to be accomplished.

Answer 5

He actually said what he meant which was the fact that there was an end to "major combat operations", in other words when there are 1,000 cruise missiles being launched everyday, and about 3,000 air sorties being flown, and you stop that and make a transfer to simply patrolling operations, it is then an end to MAJOR combat operations.

He was accurate to say what he said, and to try to boost the moral of the troops, and everyone lost their minds over it. Well not everyone, but people who couldn't afford to have the general public view Bush as a popular war time commander-in-chief............the Democrats.

Answer 6

That was referring to those sailors with the carrier group, whose mission was accomplished and they were returning home

Answer 7

He meant That he finally finished reading that book That his 10th grade teacher gave him. Or maybe he meant that he finally said a speech without stuttering ... But if so I didn't see it ? if you did please contact 1-800-miracle

Answer 9

Remove Saddam from power.

Answer 10

It meant that he'd fooled the Conservatives into believing that he was going after Osama when he knew that Sadam was the true target all along!
