the USS Abraham Lincoln on May 1, 2003.
The video and the reminders of how wrong our experts were are making me angry. I need to reread Ted Nancy's Letters From A Nut.
Here's the "mission accomplished" photo that makes me cuss.
President Bush addresses the nation from aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln on May 1 with the banner in the background.Wanna' cuss with me? Read or view Billy Moyer’s Interview with Victor Navasky and Christopher Cerf, authors of MISSION ACCOMPLISHED! OR HOW WE WON THE WAR IN IRAQ.
It's an "in-depth study and analysis of five years of expert commentary on the Iraq war. The authors have somewhat sadly, if not reluctantly, concluded that the most distinguished cast of experts ever before assembled reached a grand consensus on the Iraq war — and that all of them got it wrong. How did it happen? The whole thing is so tragic perhaps only satire can give us the answer.
"Christopher Cerf and Victor Navasky are here to answer that question. They are the founders of The Institute of Expertology — that's right. The Institute of Expertology. They also have day jobs."
