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?
