Q: Scott, given the current situation in Iraq, what the President described today as "havoc" --

McClellan: As what?

Q: Havoc, he used the word havoc today, could he, would he possibly stand under a sign that says "Mission Accomplished" today as he did three years ago?

McClellan: Well, Peter, I think that there are some Democrats that refuse to recognize the important milestone achieved by the formation of a national unity government. And there is an effort simply to distract attention away from the real progress that is being made by misrepresenting and distorting the past. And that really does nothing to help advance our goal of achieving victory in Iraq.

Q: Scott, simple yes or no question, could the President stand under a sign that says --

McClellan: No, see, this is -- this is a way that --

Q: It has nothing to do with Democrats.

McClellan: Sure it does.

Q: I'm asking you, based on a reporter's curiosity, could he stand under a sign again that says, "Mission Accomplished"?

McClellan: Now, Peter, Democrats have tried to raise this issue, and, like I said, misrepresenting and distorting the past --

Q: This is not --

McClellan: -- which is what they're doing, does nothing to advance the goal of victory in Iraq.

Q: I mean, it's a historical fact that we're all taking notice of --

McClellan: Well, I think the focus ought to be on achieving victory in Iraq and the progress that's being made, and that's where it is. And you know exactly the Democrats are trying to distort the past.

Q: Let me ask it another way: Has the mission been accomplished?

McClellan: Next question.

Q: Has the mission been accomplished?

McClellan: We're on the way to accomplishing the mission and achieving victory.
