Mission Accomplished ?!
I've always wondered why this phrase has not been used more often and effectively to illustrate shrub's enormous failings and egregious misrepresentations. I think a dramatically effective ad in the last ('04) election - or in any election - is to run the picture of Shrub in his playtime costume, monkey grin and all (see, i do have an opposable thumb) with that banner in the background, then contrast it with a picture of flag-draped coffins and increasing numbers.

That's only one use of it. On any topic at all - Katrina, the budget, etc. - it would be so easy to create an indelible image of Shrub as Mission Accomplished - Not. Yes, it would be the same type of PR war that he wages, but with a difference - this one would be true.

(Mission Accomplished, New Orleans devastated, "Great Job, Brownie." It's that simple.)
(Same thing with budget deficit.)

2. There was a poster here a while back that had a sig line photo
that had Kerry in uniform during Vietnam with the Title of Patriot and right beside it a picture of Bush* in his flight suit underneith the banner Mission Accomplished and the title of Patriot Act. I loved that one and always thought it would make an excellent Campaign Poster or TV Ad but alas didn't happen.

Kerry=Patriot...............Bush*=Patriot Act.....
