If I were his PR manager, I would suggest another outfit. Rolling up your sleeves and pose in a "Just do it" style may look a little too staged. Especially when ppl blame you for standing idly by this may become another mission accomplished fiasko.[IMG]http://i.today.*******.com/pictures/galleries/newspictures/2006-03-08T165505Z_01_WASW210D_RTRIDSP_2_BUSH-KATRINA.jpg[/IMG]

Pille1234: Mission Accomplished referred to the end of the "main combat phase" of fighting in Iraq. What's going on no could politically be referred to as "cleanup", if you will.
That is political semantics in order to prevent the PR desaster. The war is not over yet and if it can be won at all is still in question.
But that shouldn't be discussed in the daily pix thread.
