Interesting, the Whitehouse has removed 'Mission Accomplished' from the carrier video in a silly, obvious fashion.

Here's the original clip: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CFijzDyJnVE&NR=1
:rolleyes:

Intersting that the camera angle on the 2 videos were completely different, as in not the same video footage at all. That guys an idiot.
-
the carrier was returning from it's tour of duty, the "Mission Accomplished" referred to the carrier not the war in Iraq.
-
This is my favorite "Iraq Gaffe" video, featuring our once and future President. The beginning is priceless, one wonders why they don't play this kind of thing on the news.

don't even try john. reality only hurts their simple minds.

Mission accomplished referring to the carrier? When have you ever seen a carrier have a big "Mission Accomplished" banner? The whole ceremony on the carrier was for all of our armed forces in Iraq. Did you think it was only for a handful of sailors? If that was the case, I would have much rather Bush gave the tank units that took Baghdad a "Mission Accomplished" banner, they deserved it more.

a carrier has about 5000 sailors and marines, That's just the carrier, i don't know how many people are in the whole carrier battle group.

Then why the hell didnt they remove it for the TV broadcast?
-
Why should they? Their mission was accomplished.
-
I'm just confused why President Bush would only be celebrating the men and women of a carrier while the Army and Marines were fighting house to house and Army tanks were literally driving through Baghdad in the most intense fighting of the war.
Unless the banner applied to everyone.
-
They need to be more specific. The 'Mission Accomplished' actually referred to the 1000th case of dysentry suffered by the crew that tour.
'It meant mission accomplished for the carrier' Purrrrleeasse. Given all the spin and politics associated with a Presidency, or any leadership in the Western world, do you really believe the banner wasn't carefully placed?
Next you'll be telling us Bush happened to be passing the carrier and called on the off chance a camera crew was present. :lol
-
boring.
the pilots and planes do not dock with the ship, they take off wile still at sea to fly to their land base, bush flew to the ship at sea to welcome pilots and crew back to the states wile the pilots were still on the ship.

Chairboy, haven't you learned to take what you see on the internet with a grain of salt?

Here's another couple of tidbits. The Lincoln's deployment lasted 10 months. That's longer than any CV since WWII. Deployments have been limited to six months since the late 80's although my first on Vinson in '84/85 was just short of 8 months. I still had friends aboard Lincoln during this deployment, according to them it was the ship's banner, not Bush's. That's of course if you're interested in facts. So much made over such a little thing, kinda pathetic.

Jeeze Eagler, that was a long time ago, I don't recall seeing him. We generally tried to stay away from the island cause going up usually meant the Air Boss was gonna yell at us for being back late for the recovery.

"After the news conference, a White House spokeswoman said the Lincoln's crew asked the White House to have the sign made. The White House asked a private vendor to produce the sign, and the crew put it up, said the spokeswoman. She said she did not know who paid for the sign. "

I'll grant it was probably the ship's idea. I'll also bet that they came up with the idea once they found out they were going to be on television.

Mace, what is/was your rate?
