As Bush announced, “Major combat operations in Iraq have ended,” framed by the banner, “Mission Accomplished,” he was surrounded by hundreds of cheering troops. At the time, it would have been hard to predict that three years later major combat operations would not have ended, the mission would not be accomplished, and Bush would be losing the support of the military.”
