Holbrook; You sound defensive. The question is what WILL it symbolize in the future?

To the moron above me who thinks the banner was for the ship, you are wrong. Go back and watch the speech. Bush clearly stated that ALL operations in Iraq were a success and that we had won the war. That was 4 years ago smart guy. Nice try to blame the liberal media. Only a true idiot would buy the story that you believe. How gullible and ignorant are you to believe that the banner had nothing to do with Bush's landing on the carrier or the fact he claimed we had won the war in his speech. I suggest you lay off the crack pipe.

It will symbolize political spin. The banner was placed after the mission was really accomplished we went into Iraq to over throw Saddam and liberate the people. Once the invasion phase ( Operation Iraqi Freedom) was over the second phase of pacifing Iraq began. This second phase was denoted a new mission statement and was deemed Operation Enduring Freedom. The left picked up the banner in 2005 after our troops had been in country for a couple of years and used it to blast the president for getting us into an un-winable war and saying he falsely proclaimed the mission over when in fact the mission referred to on the Aircraft carrier was over.
In my honest opinion after the troops come home and Iraq is stable the banner should be strung up across from NBC's New York studio so that Olbermann can see it everyday

The disconnect from reality and the danger of putting ideology before reason truth and facts.
In the Bush administration "the negation of truth is so systematic. Dishonest accounting, willful scientific illiteracy, bowdlerized federal fact sheets, payola paid to putative journalists, 'news' networks run by right-wing apparatchiks, think tanks devoted to propaganda rather than thought, the purging of intelligence gatherers and experts throughout the bureaucracy whose findings might refute the party line -- this is the machinery of mendacity...The point here is not the hypocrisy involved, though that is egregious. The point is the downgrading of truth and honesty from principles with universal meaning to partisan weapons to be sheathed or drawn as necessary. No wonder the Bush administration feels no compunction to honor the truth or seek it; it conceives truth as a tactic, valuable only insofar as it is useful against one's enemies." Russ Rymer

The problem with the "Mission Accomplished" Banner is that it was not for Bush but the ship's Captain had it put up to show that the Aircraft Carrier he was landing on had accomplished it's first mission of the war...it was just spun out by the Liberals and the Media several years after it happened...in all reality the Mission was accomplished...we got rid of Saddam...should we say we accomplished the mission in WWII since we are still in Germany, Japan, and Italy..or how about Korea where there is still not a Peace Treaty in 54 years?...it takes more to win the peace than a war...
EDIT: Not being defensive, just stating the facts...the "Mission Accomplished" Banner did not become a "thing" until the Media took it and ran with it in 05...I don't think a little minor thing like a banner is going to symbolize Bush...when the US wins the War on Terror, that will be what Bush is known for...all these small things are just propaganda...plain and simple...I think in 10 years, no one will remember that banner at all...

The challenge replaced into finished...Saddam replaced into removed from ability and Baghdad replaced into taken. You Bush bashers want "challenge finished" to characterize "worldwide Peace carried out," yet this isn't any longer what the banner replaced into approximately. Sorry. -Aztec276

It will be the visual depiction of lies and deceit of this Administration. It will be a symbol of the incompetence, and the arrogance of the Bush/Cheney Administration. It will also be a reminder of the Iraq debacle and how long after the photo was made we were still getting killed and spending billions of dollars in Iraq.

That Bush accomplished his mission of getting the USA into another endless war to funnel tax dollars.

Instead of Mission Accomplished it would be Mission "Accomplished".

Bush has accomplished a lot of wheel-spinning and that's it. And that's just the way CONSERVatives like it.
