House admits fault on 'Mission Accomplished' banner

[Javaman]

Reread the article, never once do they ever admit fault!!!!

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080430/ap_on_go_pr_wh/bush_mission_accomplished_1

(I had to give this one its own thread)

big surprise...

" move the White House came to regret as the display was mocked and became a source of controversy."

they regret this because of the object stupidity, note, no fault is admitted.

then they go on to blame someone else...

"After shifting explanations, the White House eventually said the "Mission Accomplished" phrase referred to the carrier's crew completing its 10-month mission, not the military completing its mission in Iraq. Bush, in October 2003, disavowed any connection with the "Mission Accomplished" message. He said the White House had nothing to do with the banner; a spokesman later said the ship's crew asked for the sign and the White House staff had it made by a private vendor."

Then goes on to say...

""President Bush is well aware that the banner should have been much more specific"

so there you are, it's not their fault, it's someone else's fault, and if moron* had his* way it would have been "more specific". Exactly how "more specific"?

Ideas for other banners?

"mission almost accomplished"?

"mission kind of accomplished"?

"we are on a long fucking ride to hell"?

"bend over america, we are going to screw you!"

"I'm the decider, I'm the commander guy, fuck you!?

Or my personal fav...

"my gift to the oil companies"

4. This isn't about fake banners,

It's about a fake war.

Good deflection job though, I'm sure the willing accomplices in the media will run with it full bore.

5. There was ANOTHER display that was "mocked and became a source of controversy" that day
