<description> Happy Mission Accomplished Day: Was it just four years ago today that George W. Bush declared &quot;mission accomplished&quot; in Iraq? It was. Since then, more than 3,000 American troops have died, 25,000 have been injured. Hanged in Smithsonian: What should be done with that banner? Vote over at Kos. Major Combat Operations: April deadliest month this year for US troops. To Release a Predator: Miss America took part in high-profile sex sting, posing as teenage &quot;bait.&quot; The eleven men arrested as a result may go free as Miss America refuses to return to Long Island to testify against them....</description>

<description><![CDATA[<p>My mission today is to go to the Children's Hospital Thrift Store in Kent to pick up a beater for my KitchenAid Mixer. </p>

<p>Should I accomplish this, I will be strutting about in a codpiece on my deck this afternoon. Watch for it. I will be the freakishly pale blob on north Beacon Hill that is causing traffic to slow on Rainier Avenue. </p>]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[<p>And the standard has been set... you DON'T even have to actually accomplish ANYTHING to SAY "mission accomplished".  You can just say it.</p>

<p>Write an email but send it to the wrong person/people: "Mission Accomplished!"</p>

<p>Take a couple bites out of a donut and put it back in the box: "Mission Accomplished!"</p>

<p>Take a shit but don't wipe: "Mission Accomplished!" (this one seems rather fitting, actually)</p>]]></description>

<title>Comment by Original Andrew</title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>In other news, John Browne, the CEO of British Petroleum, resigned today after being outed – which is kinda huge news in that a gay man ran one of the world’s largest oil companies all these years.</p>

<p>"In my 41 years with BP I have kept my private life separate from my business life," Browne said in the statement. <br />
"I have always regarded my sexuality as a personal matter, to be kept private. It is a matter of deep disappointment that a newspaper group has now decided that allegations about my personal life should be made public," he added.</p>

<title>Comment by Ebenezer</title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>I've read that some on the right insist that Bush didn't say "Mission Accomplished" in that speech, and they are correct.  </p>

<p><br />
Of course, his people did make and hang a large "Mission Accomplished" banner in full view for the speech.  Bush did say "In the battle of Iraq, the United States and our allies have prevailed." And a little over a month later (June 5), he told troops in Qatar:</p>

<p><br />
"I am happy to see you, and so are the long-suffering people of Iraq. America sent you on a mission to remove a grave threat and to liberate an oppressed people, and that mission has been accomplished."</p>]]></description>
