Mission Accomplished II
As one visitor mentioned in the comment section of the last post, the reason the his speech is called Mission Accomplished is because of the sign that's hanging behind the President.
Incidentally, the sign wasn't located in the immediate background. It was placed high on the top of the control tower (aka the island) for all to see as they approached port.
Why was it there?
The sign was signifying the end of the USS Abraham Lincoln's 10 month deployment. One of the longest, if not the longest, on record for a United States Navy ship. It was hanged at the request of the crew members because they had accomplished their mission. That was a proud moment for the crew of the USS Lincoln, which the media snubbed in favor of criticizing the President.
What the mainstream media didn't tell you is that the sign had nothing to do with the operations in Iraq. The President's speech stressed that point when he said in the speech:

"We have difficult work to do in Iraq."Does anybody really get a sense that a mission had been accomplished.
"The transition from dictatorship to democracy will take time."
"The battle of Iraq is one victory in a war on terror that began on September the 11, 2001."
