Only one of those is actually a quote

Clintons was "sexual relations" (ask a baptist in the south what that means...trust me - the definitions will surprise you)

Bush Jr. never said mission accomplished.

Read my lips...definitely said by Bush Sr.

Bush Jr never said "mission accomplished." Even if he did, the speech was referring to the removal of Saddam Hussein. The "mission accomplished" was twisted to mean that Bush thought everything was done and we were ready to pack up and leave.

What????????? People twisting words and then repeating them over and over so that they become part of supposed modern fact?

Or Bush saying he saw the plane hit the tower before he sat with the kids....or Gore supposodly saying he invented the internet.

Bush offered the explanation after being asked whether his speech declaring an end to major combat in Iraq under the "Mission Accomplished" banner was premature, given that U.S. casualties in Iraq since then have surpassed those before it.

During the speech in May, Bush said, "The battle of Iraq is one victory in a war on terror that began on September 11, 2001, and still goes on."

The speech and events surrounding it were widely publicized and served as the symbolic end to the war in Iraq.

At the time, it appeared that every detail of the day's events had been carefully planned, including the president's arrival in the co-pilot's seat of a Navy S-3B Viking after making two flybys of the carrier.

What point are you trying to make? I see where you are going, but your point is evading me.

My point is that misrepresenting words/actions exists by both sides - and eventually becomes accepted as truth by many.

Bush will forever be associated with Mission Accomplished...despite your attempts to prove otherwise. Ironically, scaling back without any clear and specific victory means they may never really get to break out the banner for real.

Bush lied about his most grandstanding, insulting, ego-tripping stunt: his "Mission Accomplished" appearance aboard the U.S.S. Abraham Lincoln. In his October 28th "news conference," President Pinocchio claimed:

[font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]"The 'Mission Accomplished' sign, of course, was put up by the members of the USS Abraham Lincoln, saying that their mission was accomplished," Bush said.[/font]

[font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]"I know it was attributed somehow to some ingenious advance man from my staff — they weren't that ingenious, by the way." [/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]That, of course, was a lie. The people who clean up Bush's lies -- the ones who would follow an elephant in a circus with brooms and garbage bags for the droppings -- quickly tried to repair the damage with a parsing of Bush's statement that was clearly laughable, if the stakes weren't so high:[/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]"After the news conference, a White House spokeswoman said the Lincoln's crew asked the White House to have the sign made. The White House asked a private vendor to produce the sign, and the crew put it up, said the spokeswoman. She said she did not know who paid for the sign."[/font]

I originally thought you meant that, but I had to make sure. I didn't know for sure because you, and the rest of the posters here, aren't well versed in the use of sarcasm.

“I did not have sex with that woman.” These words from President Clinton concerning his relationship with infamous White House intern Monica Lewinsky raised many questions about what does and does not constitute marital infidelity.

Hilo:

interesting part about life is a majority that wanted Clinton persecuted for his act had hookers or girlfriends on the side and were getting the same thing done to them

Love how those that throw stones are usually the same ones that are doing the identical thing

Remember Newt Gingrich????

So this is your quote? CNN's? FOX? Can you cite the source?
