mission accomplished

i'm too sick for much of a post (thanks hydro!) but here's a quick one anyway:

in his press conference, bush denied that he was responsible for the "mission accomplished banner," claiming that naval personnel put the banner up themselves. it wasn't referring to iraq, y'see. no, it was referring to the u.s.s. lincoln's successful mission of returning to the san diego harbor. i'm sure they bring that thing out whenever they reach a port.

but the plot thickens. it seems that the navy says the sign was produced by the white house. so who do you believe?
