The mission of the US Navy was to provide air support in the battle to overthrow Saddam Hussein. The US Navy completed this mission. The US Navy sailors were returning home to their families and Bush43 joined them in they celebration. If you noticed, the Army, Marines, and Air Force never displayed banners saying their mission was accomplished..... I don't understand why you cast scorn on the US Navy for celebrating a successful mission.

Umm...wow. Most importantly, there is no way in hell that banner was there to say, the US Navy's job, and only the the US Navy's job, is finished. That was meant to tell the American people we won, and everything will be okay. I also very much doubt that the US Navy's job is finished over there anyways.

The banner and photo-op was about the air and ground war, which was finished, victoriously. The occupation and insurgency are separate and distinct from that and are ongoing, and will be ongoing for decades. We still have troops in virutally every country we've defeated.

The banner was about photo-ops and press.
All moves by this white house are about photo-ops and press there is no evidence of any substantive thinking on issues.
