harms - why is it OK for Bush to score cheap political points, because everything the President does is political, but not for Democrats? Everything Kerry does is political, as well.
And why not make the Mission Accomplished thing a metaphor for this administration? It really is. They didn't care about the reality of the situation, engaging in a war for personal or ideological reasons on the basis of lies, and then bragged about how tought they were. In fact, that is Bush's campaign message. I'm tough on terror, dammit, I'm so goddam tough. Ignore everything that has actually happened, pretend nothing bad is going on, and vote for me.
Mission Accomplished isn't as bad as the actually terrible policies he has had, but it is an apt metaphor for Bush's incompetence and uber-massive failures.
