Bush-My one regret


According to John Rentoul,George Bush jnr has finally admitted that standing in front of that sign "Mission accomplished in 2003 was not a good idea.

In a speech in Montreal last week George W Bush, in moderately humble mood, said that he stood by most of the decisions he took as President, but that he regretted appearing in front of a "Mission Impossible" sign during a televised address on 1 May 2003.


For those who had forgotten this glorious gaffe,the American President landed on the USS Abraham Lincoln Thursday, arriving in the co-pilot's seat of a Navy S-3B Viking after making two fly-bys of the carrier.

Moments after the landing, the president, wearing a green flight suit and holding a white helmet, got off the plane, saluted those on the flight deck and shook hands with them. Above him, the tower was adorned with a big sign that read, "Mission Accomplished."
