"Clinton On Mission Accomplished"
A little birdie points us to Sen. Hillary Clinton's musings four years ago on the very day President Bush beamed his victory speech under the Mission Accomplished banner:
“Tonight President Bush will address our Nation and will tell the world that Operation Iraqi Freedom's military action is over, at least insofar as major military engagements may be required. We know we will have continuing problems, like those we have seen in the last few days. But it is true we are now moving toward the second phase, which is the rebuilding of Iraq.”
To be fair, "moving toward the second phase" is not the most incriminating of phases. Still, it's remarkable how everyone -- even Democrats -- thought the end of the war roughly meant the end of the war.

Speak for yourself. A lot of people were never fooled by this joke of an administration on anything. But I guess we're not savvy enough to be political pundits.

Back in 2003 when the ground troops started their push to Baghdad and they started calling it operation "Iraqi Freedom", I knew at that point the whole thing was a scam.
