"One year ago, on the deck of the USS Lincoln, under a banner reading 'Mission Accomplished,' President Bush told America that 'major combat operations in Iraq have ended.'... In April 2004, more U.S. soldiers died in Iraq than during the entire period that Bush considered 'major combat.'... We now know that President Bush misled the American people in the run up to war. We know that he had no plan for post-war Iraq. We know that, thanks to the arrogance and incompetence of this administration, our mission is not accomplished."
