Thursday Morning Open Thread

Good morning.

Five years ago today, the pundits were in a lather as our fearless leader flew onto an aircraft carrier to declare: Mission Accomplished.

The Bush administration lied to the American people. But, the traditional media accepted those lies -- and fell for the photo ops. (UPDATE: Bill in Portland has a compilation of the quotes). That same media today is obsessed about Rev. Wright, instead of the fact that we just finished the most deadly month in Iraq since August. It was sickening then and it's even worse now.

Five years later.
