Understatement Of The Century

Outgoing Bush Aide Dan Bartlett said this in a recent interview:

There was never a more benign incident that turned into a bigger messaging problem than "Mission Accomplished." It set the wrong tone for what became a protracted, difficult mission. If there was ever a do-over, that would be it.

The rest of the interview is pretty funny as well. Bartlett basically tries to claim that the "Mission Accomplished" banner was placed behind Bush accidently. I love it.
