3. I have a lovely "Mission Accomplished" banner, for sale cheap.
They might want to pony it out again at some point. Perhaps after the next "event" on US soil.

5. a mere diversion from their real plan . . .
which is an indefinite presence in Iraq . . . if BushCo and PNAC have their way, we ain't leavin' in 4 years, in 8 years, or in 20 years . . . from their perspective, we're there to stay . . .
