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.

Caption This: Bush finds out whether blondes have more fun

We found a great photo above of W. kissing Kateryna Yushchenko, wife of Ukrainian President Viktor Yushchenko, as the Bushes were leaving Kiev.

And since we love goofy photos of the current inhabitant of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, we knew we had to offer this one up as the latest "Caption This."

Good ol' Dubya, that swell, fun, guy, the ex-cheerleader and guy you want to have a beer with. He clowns, he's funny. And did you catch his dance in Africa, by the way? That was a hoot.

Aaah, in between Valentine's Day and the first robins of spring, love is still in the air. No, not that kind of love. It's the love between Republicans. "Oh, baby, more tax cuts for the rich." "No, you should oppress this minority. I got to do it the last time."

Seems like an ordinary image of a Bush press conference. But isn't this a microcosm of the White House press core during the Bush Administration? A bunch of mindless drones "heiling" the (Commander-in-)Chief.

All the scandals, all the destruction of the Constitution, all the senseless waste of human life in Iraq (ours and theirs), and the reaction among the press core is one of meek church mice. Right now, there are church mice who would object that they aren't as meek as the White House press core.

There's a new book just out on the 9/11 Commission, and it reveals that Philip Zelikow, the Executive Director of the "investigation," was actually, it strongly appears, working to cover up the neglect of Condoleezza Rice, Bush, and others in ignoring the warning signs that Al-Qaeda was going to launch an attack on the United States.

And now that the Florida GOP Primary is over, it looks like the Rudy "9/11" G. big state strategy was a bust. In fact, Rudy may have exited stage right and endorsed John McCain by the time you read this.

Okay, according to Wikipedia. the Sword of Damocles epitomizes "the imminent and ever-present peril faced by those in positions of power. More generally, it is used to denote a precarious situation and sense of foreboding thereof, especially one in which the onset of tragedy is restrained only by a delicate trigger or chance. Moreover, it can be seen as a lesson in the importance of understanding someone's experience."

This Reuters photo is captioned: "Republican presidential candidate and former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee prepares to hunt pheasant during a hunting trip in Osceola, Iowa December 26, 2007."

(Does he look cold waiting for a staffer to release a pheasant or what?)
