Bush gave a televised speech on the aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln near the coast of California. Bush, who had launched the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq six weeks earlier, mounted a podium in front of a White House-produced banner that read ‘Mission Accomplished’” The banner was changed to say “Feeling a Little Uppity About Being Alive”.
