The "real" job is gaining favour of the people, and i'm afraid that's a battle nobody can win.

In the context of speaking to the troops that were coming home, so for them it was "Mission accomplished" and for the troops fighting the Iraqi army it was also "Mission accomplished" for they had finished that mission, the Iraqi army had ceased to exsist as a
Viable fighting force. anybody that understands what the word viable means, knows it does not mean zero shots fired in anger. There are and can be more then one mission at a time, one can end, and another start, one can end and another continue, or several continue. The problem is in the effort to make President Bush look bad and wrong many people forget to veiw things in context, or bother to even acknowledge there is context to things.
