Bush's only "mission" on that particular day was to "photo op" his way around the deck of the Abe wearing a Naval Aviator's flight suit. The only other image that I can recall that looked equally idiotic was Governor Dukakis emerging from the tank in 1988. Both images were an embarrassment.
Fortunately, Obama ended the mistake in Iraq, without wearing a naval aviator's flight suit. He soon refocused the attention of the American government back to the perpetrators of 9/11, where it should have been all along.
As a result OBL sleeps with the fishes, where he belongs. And that's a good thing!
