"Mission accomplished!"
Mark, isn't that more of a phatic enunciation than a sentence? Bush's sentences are complex, recursive structures that lose themselves in their syntax. He avoided that in this case sticking to only two words.

Jeffery, I believe phatic is spot on. Granted, citizen Bush seemed the human rendition of the 8-track tape when he spoke while CIC, yet the potentially profound statement of 'Mission Accomplished' exclaimed so early in the war defied reason. Frankly, it might well pass as a paragraph for the person in question.
Any English sentence that comes out of the mouth of my direct supervisor counts as the most bizarre, inexplicable sentence.
