5 Years On, Iraq Mission Unaccomplished
CAIRO — On May 1, 2003, US President George W. Bush stood on the deck of aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln to declare that the US mission in Iraq has been accomplished.
n the fifth anniversary of the speech, the mission remains unaccomplished and even the White House is suggesting Bush never said it was.
"Five years after President Bush's 'Mission Accomplished' speech about Iraq, America's twin wars are looking more like 'Mission: Impossible,'," The Daily News commented Thursday.
Bush ordered the invasion of Iraq in March 2003 on claims of stockpiling weapons of mass destruction and links to Al-Qaeda, both claimed later proved ungrounded.
On May 1, Bush landed in a Navy jet on carrier Abraham Lincoln, which has just concluded an Iraq war duty.
