Five Years After "Mission Accomplished," John McCain is "Fine" With 100 More

(Concord) -- On the five year anniversary of President Bush's infamous "Mission Accomplished" speech and John McCain's statement at the time that "it's clear that the end is very much in sight," it still remains clear that McCain and Bush offer no plan for victory or exit strategy in Iraq. Instead, McCain only offers a long-term troop presence in Iraq similar to our presence in Germany and South Korea, an approach that he himself admits won't work.

Sununu still misunderstood the social and political climate in Iraq so badly that he proclaimed we were "winning the hearts and minds" of Iraqis. One year later, even the Pentagon had to admit that the struggle for hearts and minds had not only failed, it had caused an anti-American backlash.

TWO DAYS TO MISSION ACCOMPLISHED: SUNUNU SPINS THE IRAQ WAR

Sununu predicts troop reductions, yet troops increase

(Manchester, NH) - In February 2006, John E. Sununu was so eager to claim success in Iraq that he wrongly predicted that American troops would be reduced by the end of the year. In reality, the end of 2006 saw George W. Bush announce the need to increase troops.
