Mission Unaccomplished

Has there ever been an administration with as much open disdain for basic reality and truth as this one? When they're not demonizing anyone who dares to disagree with them as unpatriotic (or worse), they attempt to rewrite history, particularly in regards to the Iraq war. There are lots of examples of this: Donald Rumsfeld pretending they never made any optimistic predictions before the war, miscellaneous revisions on why we went to war, the President's lie that it was Saddam who kicked UN inspectors out before the war when it was in fact W himself, etc etc... Now they are trying to rewrite their most bungled photo-op.

Atrios has the details-

[I]f one goes to Mission Accomplished Day at Whitehouse.gov and then clicks on the video link there's something interesting.

Notice anything weird? The black bar at the bottom of the video?

They clipped off the top quarter of the video, and pushed the rest up, in order to hide the Mission Accomplished banner.

Video demonstration of this- here.

1984 much, George?

Don't worry, George, we'll never forget your great triumph.
