How do you sleep?
“Mission accomplished” didn’t refer to the immoral lie that became the five-year debacle that will never end in Iraq, according to the shameless and hapless spinmeisters at the White House today.
According to today’s 1984 Ministry of Truth revision, those words meant the successful completion of a 10-month mission by the crew of the carrier where future International Criminal Tribunal detainee George W. Bush delivered his message of complete victory that existed only in his wormy mind. What a silly goof by the White House press office and the Secret Service that checks every imaginable detail of a location where the President makes an appearance many days before he actually arrives there! (PR hack to a Secret Service hack: “You moron, you forgot to take down that carrier banner before hundreds of press arrived to hear our totally manipulated message!”)
As John Lennon told Paul McCartney, “How do you sleep?”
