This Day In History

Sorry I've been doing a lot of "this day in history" posts this week, but this week has really had some interesting anniversaries. This one's a doozy. On May 1, 2003, President George W. Bush appeared aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln and declared, with a gigantic "Mission Accomplished" banner behind him, that "major combat operations in Iraq have ended." Yeah, right. Perhaps just a bit premature. Five years later, we're still there, gettin' shot at...

In other news, Bush has reported that the Israelis and Palestinians have agreed to a permanent cease-fire, the housing crisis is over, the US dollar is stronger than ever, and cancer has been cured.

EDITED TO ADD: Douchebag in flight suit.
