Oh brother! Bush regrets appearing in front of "Mission Impossible" banner in '03
he said he regretted appearing in front of a "Mission Impossible" sign during a televised address in 2003. The controversial banner referring to the U.S. mission in Iraq, actually said "Mission Accomplished."

meanwhile he was also met by protesters:

MONTREAL — About 300 protesters outside a downtown hotel blew plastic horns, tossed shoes and burned George W. Bush in effigy Thursday as the former U.S. president spoke to a luncheon of the Montreal Board of Trade.

Facing the crowd were dozens of Montreal police tactical squad members and while there was plenty of noise, there were only five arrests and no injuries.

14. Say it ain't so!
Well, Georgie, personally I had hours of fun using that stupid publicity stunt for various photoshop backgrounds. Kept me sane whilst you were drooling on the white house carpets for eight horrible years.
