Political Factoid
Republican politicians often
jump the gun on declaring
"mission accomplished."
Examples:
- President G.W. Bush - 2003-May-01
Speaking under a banner stating
"Mission Accomplished," Bush stated
at the time that this was the end to
major combat operations in Iraq.
- Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA) - 2013-Jun-25
After the Supreme Court struck
down the heart of the Voting
Rights Act leaving it to Congress
to re-establish it, Gassley spoke
to reporters saying that Congress
does not need to do anything
because the work of the Voters
Rights Act was completed.*

And GOP voter suppression plans can
continue in every red state?
