    The crew asked the WH staff if it would be ok to hang a banner saying “Mission Accomplished”. We readily agreed. We hung it in an obviously prominent place that also sent a message as Bush spoke to the nation.

        Because, as you know, a naval vessel in the middle of war operations had adequate time and resources to print a huge full-color vinyl banner that fit the scene perfectly.

        And regardless, Bush still strutted up to the podium in a jump suit exuding confidence and a delusional air of accomplishment.

        There is nearly a 0% chance that "the crew" asked to put up the banner, and furthermore, would be able to get the FUNDS to produce such a banner. Nice try, Ari.

        Why did the Navy force Bush to land on that carrier and position the banner in the background? Just a setup by the Deep State.

        these war criminals didn't show remorse for having caused killings of 1M Iraqis & subsequently rise of ISIS, why expect them to take responsibility for Bush's "Mission Accomplished"? W's socks-filled crotch is 'nuance'/detail, not banner.https://twitter.com/AriFleischer/status/985165394917953536 …

        There were no casualties except a bit of reported motion sickness by Airman Vasquez at the flight ops center in Harshedmellow Arizona from the newly installed virtual reality 'Killzone" flight tracking system. #hoboheretic Enjoy.
