The "Mission Accomplished" sign is exactly what the Bush Administration wanted to say with the usual nudge nudge wink wink they like to send along with code words to the elite have's and have mores that Bush considers his real base. He was really saying, "the war is privatized for all the war profiteering companies in the private right-wing club, the Iraqi oil spigot is now shut down so Exxon can reap historical multi-billion dollar profits, and the Bill of Rights is now replaced with Administration sanctioned and authorized torture policies, MISSION ACCOMPLISHED."

The deeper in trouble the get, the longer and more convoluted their defense becomes. I remember back on August 5, 2004 when Bush redefined the “War on Terror” as:

It was his thinking behind that propaganda. Bush then declared end of major combat in Iraq. Perino Bimbo is wrong when she claims it was designed to comemorate something else. It was Karl Rove's propaganda style thing, creating a photo opportunity for Bush. But like everything this criminals do, they only saw the moment. Not the whole picture. And with their arrogance, they also thought the FIASCO this war has turned to would never exist. 'Greeted as liberators', yeah... since when occupiers are seeing as liberators. Stop telling us lies Perino, go and Chenney yourself with a 'mission acomplished' banner behind it! The Mission acomplished banner fiasco was designed by Karl Rove.

Do they think that anyone really believes what they say anymore? I doubt it. These are pro forma lies, not meant to be believed, just intended to go through the motions of answering the question in the most nominal sense possible. It really just amounts to the administration and its mouthpieces saying "we can do whatever we want, and you can't do anything about it." And the room didn’t explode in laughter????
