Oh brother. Are they kidding? Are we now supposed to believe that the &quot;Mission Accomplished&quot; blunder was just a &ldquo;signage problem?&rdquo; The impression created five years ago by the president&rsquo;s grandstanding landing on the carrier deck and his speech to the troops was that the U.S. mission to depose Iraq&rsquo;s dictator Saddam Hussein had been accomplished. Has the mission to create a self-sustaining democratic government in Iraq -- that can be protected by its own troops -- been accomplished?
