So why was "Mission Accomplished" in the president's speech when Rumsfeld got the advance copy of that speech while in Baghdad? Rumsfeld personally takes credit for removing the expression "Mission Accomplished" from the president's speech. But the Navy was not told to remove the White House banner. Therefore fax lines were busy posting spin to Rush Limbaugh types to tell the brown shirts. White House propagandists immediately proclaimed "Mission Accomplished" was the Navy's idea. Rumsfeld himself says that is not true.

So which should a brown shirt believe? The facts or the spin? Well the fact contradicts a political agenda. The spin is easier for brown shirts to swallow.

Ronald Cherrycoke. Rumsfeld says "Mission Accomplished" was in the president's speech AND that Rumsfeld removed that phrase from the president's speech. Anything else is classic Limbaugh lies.

When do you start rebuilding your credibility? Rebuilding cannot happen when you parrot Limbaugh lies. Ironic – that’s the same Limbaugh who has so much contempt for the American soldier. Same Limbaugh whose job is to report the 'lie of the day'.
