The mission he refered to on that boat was accomplished. The people on that boat had successfully and with relative ease invaded and liberated Iraq. Do you not see that?
Moreover, W and his administration consistently said the task of rebuilding Iraq would would long and arduous. If you can find quotes where W or his administration said essentially "Hey, the initial invasion is over and in about two weeks the neew govt. will be in place and everything will be hunky dory" let's see them. My research indicated that while the administration has always pointed out the good things and the progress made, they always cautioned that we would be there a long time, etc. Thus, I conclude that McCain's statments are false.
But, if you can come with the quotes to the contrary, I'll gladly admit I am wrong.
