Lies...

• "The 'Mission Accomplished' sign, of course, was put up by the members of the USS Abraham Lincoln, saying that their mission was accomplished. I know it was attributed some how to some ingenious advance man from my staff ..." -- President George W. Bush, 10/28/2003



• " they asked if we could help take care of the production of the banner. And we more than happy to do so" -- White House Spokesman Scott McClellan, 10/29/2003

So the White House made a huge banner that read "Mission Accomplished" and some crew members of the Lincoln put it up. McClellan claims that it was the crew's idea and the White House was just happy to help. Oh yeah, the banner just happed to be right over Flyboy's shoulder in the televised address. Hmmmm....okay...I believe that.
