The infamous "Mission Accomplished" banner -- that hung in the background when then-President George W. Bush gave a 2003 speech on the USS Lincoln about major combat operations in Iraq ending -- has not been lost.
It is among the tens of thousands of items that are in storage and will be considered for display at the future Bush library and museum being built on the edge of the Southern Methodist University campus in Dallas.
A groundbreaking ceremony for the Bush Presidential Complex was held earlier this week.
"The banner is one of the more than 43,000 artifacts in our collection," said Alan Lowe, director of the George W. Bush Library. "The Museum will open in 2013 and decisions about what will or what will not be displayed have not been made this far in advance."

I can not believe MY tax dollars paid for someone to design, construct, then ship, then hang that banner. THEN - to take it down and store it and then ship it to the faux library.
What a JOKE

Hey, he's gone, out of power and the Republic, while shaken by his top-to-bottom-incompentent Regime, still stands!
Let us all gather, heads bowed, offering up thanks there are no more Bushes in the bushes, now that Papa Bush and Junior are finally passe.
The Republic can ill-afford any more of these self-enrichening "Bluebloods".
"Jed" who??
