Amazing the lengths the left will go to to take quotes out of context...combine them with earlier or later quotes referring to other matters....and then add them together to create something different and dishonest. And they wonder why no one trusts or votes for them. Once again...a lie told often enough...is still a lie.

Tis is just parsing words. The "mission" of the ship and crew were "accomplished." The "combat operations" against Saddam's army had ended. The war on terror is ongoing....and the new Iraq is our partner in it.
