It seems I have forgotten a very obvious phrase of the Zombie Left. It’s so obvious that it could have held a protest march right in front of me while burning effigies of President Bush and I would have missed it. As my dad used to say “You couldn’t find it if it was going to jump out and bite you.” Never mind that if it was going to jump out and bite me I wouldn’t be looking for it. Anyway, I digress. As you’ve probably figured out today’s knee jerk phrase of the Zombie Left is “Mission Accomplished”. Whenever there is a setback in Iraq, usually a soldier being killed, the Zombie Left refer smugly to that picture and say “Mission Accomplished” sarcastically. It’s as almost if they relish it whenever a U.S. soldier gets killed. What they are referring to is the speech that President Bush gave in May of 2003 on the deck of the USS Abraham Lincoln where he declared that the majority of fighting was over in Iraq. Behind him was a banner declaring “Mission Accomplished”. While I agree that saying the majority of fighting was over was a bit premature, the banner had nothing to do with that speech. The banner was actually put there by the crew of the USS Abraham Lincoln. The ship was returning home after a 10 month international deployment.
“It truly did signify a mission accomplished for the crew,” Navy Cmdr. Conrad Chun said, adding the president’s visit marked the end of the ship’s 10-month international deployment.
So add this to the lexicon of the left that will get you disqualified for using in a political argument. Unless your point was to make yourself look like an unoriginal, blind party following, non-researching assclown. Then it’s “Mission Accomplished”.
