Caption This: 'Mission Accomplished' was 5 years ago today, what would the banner about Iraq read like now?
picture from this Web site
Today is May 1, the 5th anniversary of Bush's "Mission Accomplished" photo-op. But the mission still goes on and on and on.
The frustration and anger of the failed Bush policies stems in some part from that insanely cocky photo-op of Bush flying onto the aircraft carrier in his "uniform."
So put on your marketing thinking caps? Let us know what the banner should say 5 years later.
It could be "What is our mission in Iraq?" or "Bush's tragic legacy." Keep it short and pithy. Give us your best shot.

Mission A Quagmire
How about this
A Ditty for the Day (not a caption, alas)
Turn the Boat Around
Our leader landed on the deck dressed in his soldier suit,
A banner hanging over him, he looked so bloody cute.
But San Diego could be seen, right there in the background,
So the order soon was given, “Turn the boat around.”
Chorus:
It’s time to turn the boat around, that’s what the people say.
The course our leader’s setting is exactly the wrong way.
The compass reads “disaster,” you’ve run us hard aground,
It’s time to fire the skipper, and then turn the boat around.
He claimed that he’d found danger right there in white and black,
And the cause of all that danger was in far-away Iraq.
Weapons, terror, poison gas, nuke-u-lar missiles, too,
All waiting, primed and ready to target me and you.
Repeat Chorus
So off we went, a-shooting, and soon had ‘em on the run,
With bought-and-paid-for press along, to show us all the fun.
We never found those weapons, the poison gas and such,
And the folks whose land we shot to hell don’t like us very much.
Repeat Chorus
Now, here at home, his policies are tilted toward the rich,
With tax cuts and deficits, the good old bait-and-switch.
He loves the super-rich and puts the dollars in their fist,
As for the poor, there’s still the war, so they can just enlist.
Repeat Chorus
This is the “ship of state,” not another “photo op,”
And when it gets to going, it’s damn-all hard to stop.
But if we can turn a carrier to try to fool the press,
Then we can turn the country ‘round, and get out of this mess.
Repeat Chorus
