Episode 32: Molley and Chad close out Season 3 with their friend Chad Hopper.  As the weather changes and the Fall colors burst, State Dock on Lake Cumberland hosts a Poker Run.  It's the last blow out event of the season.  Lake Life with Molley and Chad is a sponsor of the 2023 Poker Run. Welcome to the Poker Run Chad explains that the Lake Cumberland Poker Run is an event involving some really powerful boats on the lake.  It's usually held over a weekend.  Molley and Chad made sure to publicize the podcast merch and all the swag from t-shirts, footballs and more at this year's event. This year, they decided to have fun at the dock party, rather than heading out on the water.  They had a great time with a big group of friends.  In keeping with the lake atmosphere, some of the partygoers were wearing fishnet bathing suits and a few were sporting thongs.  Chad and Molley talked about how much confidence it would take to wear one of those bathing suits.  Yep, not much more to say about that. Molley mentions this year's event included 150 boats.  Both Cigarette, Formula and Sunsation were sponsors.  There were a few MTIs in the poker run.  It's worth going down just to watch some awesome boats.  This year, the tickets were only $50 for the weekend.  Chad recommends you start planning for the 2024 event.  It's going to be a great time! Dock vs. Water – Which is Better? Molley asks if they have a vote for which experience they liked the best.  They've been out on the water in years past.  But this year was the full dock experience.  Chad comments about how much fun the dance floor at the dock was, thanks to a couple of great DJs (DJ Al and DJ Xtina). Chad Hopper points out that it's a long day, so why not consider doing both?  There's time to get in some boating.  He really enjoys the boats and in reality, the entire event is a party. Another one of their friends likes to work on motors.  The boats in this poker run had some great examples of pure muscle on the water. One of the things Molley like is that both Thunder Run and the Poker Run bring some great boats to Lake Cumberland.  They're both fast and beautiful.  If you come down for the week, you'll be able to watch some of them without the crowd.  People love to talk about their boats and it's a great way to expand the overall experience.  Molley, Chad and Chad take a little detour in the conversation to talk about some of the things they've learned and seen. The Foam Football and Stickers Story Molley describes the fun they had with the Lake Life with Molley and Chad foam footballs they brought to the Poker Run.  They handed them out and interacted with people waiting in line at the restaurant.  People absolutely loved them, along with some of the stickers they had.  Admittedly, the stickers were hit and miss, depending upon who was handing them out. The Food Trucks Crushed It There was a Mexican food truck and a barbecue truck that showed up with some terrific food.  Both are based in Russell Springs, Kentucky.  They added some variety to the State Dock restaurant (The Wheelhouse), which is always packed.  Which Boat would Chad Hopper Buy? Molley asks Hopper which one of the Poker Run boats he'd buy, if money were no object.  He really likes those Cigarette boats.  Chad is partial to the Formula boats.  Molley admits she's still a Sunsation and MTI fan.  Future Plans Molley and Chad explain that they'll have to miss the 2024 Poker Run because their daughter is getting married!  It'll be the first one they've missed in about 10 years.  It'll probably be worth it. For the 2025 Poker Run, Molley thinks they should anchor a houseboat near the DJ booth on the dock.  The Chads talk about the prep work they'd do to get it ready for the weekend.  Molley points out that the Jamestown water taxi operates until 1:00am to help all of you partygoers.  Future Topics Is there a topic or idea you'd like for us to discuss on the Lake Life with Molley and Chad Podcast?  We'd love to hear from you.  Molley likes the idea of talking to people on other lakes, outside of Kentucky.  There's always something new to learn.  As they close out today's episode, Chad makes a great point.  Consider stopping by your favorite marina and picking up a few items to help them out.  The end of the season often has some great sales, but that also means business is getting ready to slow down.   Let's make sure they make it through the winter and are able to come on strong next Spring. Wow, can you believe this summer flew by so quickly?  It's been a terrific time interviewing friends about other Kentucky lakes.  If you missed a few episodes, be sure to go back and listen to them.  We'd appreciate it if you'd consider sharing comments and links on your social media to help Lake Life with Molley and Chad to continue to grow.  Thanks for being part of all of it. Friends, that's a wrap for this episode and Season 3.  We'd like to thank Chad Hopper for guest hosting with us.  We hope you found it helpful, insightful and maybe a little entertaining.  Thanks for Listening! If you enjoyed this podcast, please consider sharing it with your social media friends.  We hope to see you out there soon.  Until next time, here's to warm weather and calm waters!   Don't forget to subscribe!

Episode 29: Molley and Chad interview Aqua Supply Co. owners Courtney and Andrew in today's episode.  Aqua sells marine products and apparel for everyone who loves boating, beaches and the outdoors.  The four of them originally met at the Dock Crawl in 2022.  We'll catch up on the new business and have a few laughs along the way.  So, How's Business? Andrew is happy to say they sold out of all of the merchandise at the Cincinnati Boat Show.  AquaClean is their first brand.  It's detailing products to be use on boats, as well as cars and RVs.  Andrew has done detailing for over 10 years.  He's used many of the available products.  They spent about 2 years of testing to find the right products for their brand. Molley and Courtney talk about everyone seems to have a job(s) when a boat's involved.  Andrew is a serious cleaner.  Courtney takes care of getting things ready for the outing.  The AquaClean Product Line Courtney gives an overview of the products they offer.  She begins with WIPEDOWN, which is their flagship product.  It's a waterless wash, that prevents water spots and streaks on your boat after you're done for the day. Andrew talks about their PROTECT product that gives a stronger barrier of protection.  They have a variety of all-purpose cleaners and waxes.  There's plenty of new products in the pipeline, as well. Molley asks about a product to get hair dye out of your seats.  That can be a really challenge.  Andrew comment that many of the products on the market can actually break down the material.  There's no all-in-one product solution. Properly Caring for Your Boat   Molley discusses how so many people forget, or skip, wiping down their boats.  It's so important and a lot of new boat owners may not realize it.  Over time, your boat will develop a waterline, because you didn't take the time to properly care for your boat, by just wiping it down. Molley focuses particularly on caring for the seats.  Taking a little time to clean them and reapply protectant can ensure they not only look great, but they hold up over the years.  You can keep the seats from splitting and reduce damage to the threads, with a little effort.  The group briefly discusses a new type of material that is supposed to resist feeling hot to the touch and actually resists staining from sun lotion and other substances.  Where Can People Meet Courtney and Andrew? They're thinking about the Kuttawa Cannonball Run.  They're also planning to be at the Thunder Run on Lake Cumberland.  The plan is to have a display and maybe a special surprise.  Chad points out that today's episode is being recorded at Lake Cumberland's State Dock, on Courtney and Andrew's houseboat.  If you hear some noise in the background, it's all part of Lake Life. What Cleaning Mistakes Do People Make? Molley asks about mistakes people often make when cleaning their boats.  Andrew discusses how many people go wrong with the interiors of their boats.  Bleach can be a problem.  However, people done always understand that Magic Erasers have bleach in them.  He explains that the damage isn't immediately noticeable, but the following year, it's unmistakable.  General upkeep can be a challenge.  Failing to wash down the boat, wiping it down and applying protectant is extremely common.  It's all about consistency when it comes to properly caring for your boat. The group talks about some of the problems you can encounter if you don't have a good routine, at the end of the day.  They've all made mistakes.  Those are the ones you'll probably avoid next time.  Andrew recommends having a marine radio.  It'll be worth the investment if you need to use it. Chad asks Courtney for a quick update on her mother, Tina.  Tina was a star on one of the Dock Crawl episodes, last year.  Tina's doing okay and getting ready to spend time at their condo in Florida.  It looks like Courtney took over the torch for the Dock Crawl.  The group discusses some of the changes since last year.  Donsi Dale made an appearance in Episode 20.  His houseboat was actually featured on a season 16 episode of Top Chef, which was filmed at Lake Cumberland. Advice to Someone Interested in Buying a Houseboat The primary challenge is the cost.  Andrew comments that you either have to buy or rebuild an older model.  Houseboats seem to increase in value each year.  After the pandemic, people really aren't getting rid of their boats, because they became a refuge. On a side note, Andrew mentions his chili and wings cook-off.  They talk about some past events and special recipes.  There's even a costume contest. Lake Life Provides an Escape The group talks about how they really enjoy getting down to the lake.  It's a way to escape from the stress and pressure of day-to-day life.  Chad discusses how not having a cell signal is actually a good thing on the lake. Courtney tells Molley and Chad about all of the new changes in their lives, since last year:  an engagement, a new business, a puppy, a move and a new car.  It's been a whirlwind (or eddy, if you will).  Learn More About Aqua Supply Company Website:  www.ShopAquaCo.com Email:  Support@ShopAquaCo.com They're also available on social media, and are planning to be available on Amazon and on Walmart.com.  They're working with marinas and boat shops to provide a kit for new boat owners, as well as experienced boaters.  Chad mentions that as of the recording of this podcast, there's also a 15% discount for new customers, on the website. That's a wrap for this episode.  We'd like to thank our friends Courtney and Andrew for hosting with us.  We hope you found it helpful, insightful and maybe a little entertaining.  Thanks for Listening!

On today's show, SGA and the Thunder are on the rise, making the most unlikely of Playoff runs behind an All-NBA season from their star; Joel Embiid is making a strong push for the MVP, but as the Sixers hit their stride as the Playoffs approach, we're appreciating what James Harden is bringing to the table, and we make our cases for how the Bucks and the Celtics stack up vs them; we're looking at timetables for the return of three of the biggest names in the game, as Ja returns from his suspension, KD is expected by the end of the month and LeBron's status remains nebulous; plus, as always, a whole lot of Warriors talk, as GP2 nears his return from injury, Wiggins remains absent, the Splash Brothers continue to relive their primes, Kuminga emerges & the Jekyll and Hyde regular season winds down. So sit back, it's the NBA, all NBA and nothing but the NBA and we're breaking down how it's all unfolding, next on the Roundup Podcast so let's get rolling . . .

The Oklahoma City Thunder have seen their star max contract point guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander be named to his first NBA All-Star team; the OKC Thunder fanbase should not take SGA for granted despite how spoiled Oklahoma City has been with talent. The Thunder is one of the most successful NBA franchises right here in OKC. The Bricktown boys are back on TNT as LeBron James, and the Lakers try to chase history. Kyrie Irving wants out. Does this impact OKC? Mark Daigneault, Jalen Williams, and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander were all nominated for January awards. Plus, SGA comments on the future of this team as Jalen Williams and Josh Giddey joins him in Salt Lake City for the NBA All-Star weekend.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Built BarBuilt Bar is a protein bar that tastes like a candy bar.

In a solo rendition, Will goes over the volatility of how the Mavericks played versus the Thunder and how they need to improve vastly on that front, while also recognizing the importance of a win at this juncture in the season where the Mavericks were on a 2 game skid coming into this game. He talks about the greatness of Luka Doncic and SGA as well and their ability to manipulate the defense respectively as well as how each team's role players fared in this one. Lastly, he looks ahead to the Mavericks matchup versus the Cavs and how the Mavericks are going to have a tough time countering the dynamism that persists in the Cavs front-court and back-court. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/mainstreammavs/support

The U.S. Army's Second Brigade of the Third Infantry Division was part of the force that invaded Iraq in March of 2003.  It raced out of Kuwait in Abrams tanks and Bradley fighting vehicles across open terrain, fighting a battle for which they'd trained. Mechanized infantry combined with the tank sledgehammer brushed aside any resistance losing more vehicles to maintenance than enemy action.  Things and the plan changed when the Second Brigade made it to Baghdad.  Instead of encircling the city of seven million people and trying to clear it block by block with dismounted infantry, the decision was made to make a rapier armored thrust into Baghdad, seize the centers of power, and cause Saddam Hussein's regime to collapse from within.  That is what the Second Brigade did and what is chronicled in David Zucchino's “Thunder Run: The Armored Strike to Capture Baghdad.”

Air Force Colonel Kim Campbell has led from her single seat A-10 over Baghdad to a wing command of over a hundred, sharing lessons of the power of preparation, authenticity and making the hard calls.

Sunni is away this week so Lisa is hosting solo.  Her guest is David Zucchino is a contributing writer for the New York Times. He has covered wars and civil conflicts in more than three dozen countries and is a four-time Pulitzer Prize finalist for his reporting in Iraq, Lebanon, Africa, and inner-city Philadelphia. Zucchino won a Pulitzer Prize for his dispatches from apartheid South Africa. He is the author of Thunder Run and Myth of the Welfare QueenBook description: WINNER OF THE 2021 PULITZER PRIZE FOR GENERAL NONFICTIONFrom Pulitzer Prize-winner David Zucchino comes a searing account of the Wilmington riot and coup of 1898, an extraordinary event unknown to most AmericansBy the 1890s, Wilmington was North Carolina's largest city and a shining example of a mixed-race community. It was a bustling port city with a burgeoning African American middle class and a Fusionist government of Republicans and Populists that included black aldermen, police officers and magistrates. There were successful black-owned businesses and an African American newspaper, The Record. But across the state—and the South—white supremacist Democrats were working to reverse the advances made by former slaves and their progeny.In 1898, in response to a speech calling for white men to rise to the defense of Southern womanhood against the supposed threat of black predators, Alexander Manly, the outspoken young Record editor, wrote that some relationships between black men and white women were consensual. His editorial ignited outrage across the South, with calls to lynch Manly.But North Carolina's white supremacist Democrats had a different strategy. They were plotting to take back the state legislature in November “by the ballot or bullet or both,” and then use the Manly editorial to trigger a “race riot” to overthrow Wilmington's multi-racial government. Led by prominent citizens including Josephus Daniels, publisher of the state's largest newspaper, and former Confederate Colonel Alfred Moore Waddell, white supremacists rolled out a carefully orchestrated campaign that included raucous rallies, race-baiting editorials and newspaper cartoons, and sensational, fabricated news stories.With intimidation and violence, the Democrats suppressed the black vote and stuffed ballot boxes (or threw them out), to win control of the state legislature on November eighth. Two days later, more than 2,000 heavily armed Red Shirts swarmed through Wilmington, torching the Record office, terrorizing women and children, and shooting at least sixty black men dead in the streets. The rioters forced city officials to resign at gunpoint and replaced them with mob leaders. Prominent blacks—and sympathetic whites—were banished. Hundreds of terrified black families took refuge in surrounding swamps and forests. This brutal insurrection is a rare instance of a violent overthrow of an elected government in the U.S. It halted gains made by blacks and restored racism as official government policy, cementing white rule for another half century. It was not a “race riot,” as the events of November 1898 came to be known, but rather a racially motivated rebellion launched by white supremacists.In Wilmington's Lie, Pulitzer Prize-winner David Zucchino uses contemporary newspaper accounts, diaries, letters and official communications to create a gripping and compelling narrative that weaves together individual stories of hate and fear and brutality. This is a dramatic and definitive account of a remarkable but forgotten chapter of American history.

Have you ever heard of Emery's Thunder Run to raise funds for cancer? The 3,100 mile coast to coast run across the U. S. is designed to raise awareness about Neuroblastoma, a cancer affecting children that is extremely challenging to successfully fight and one that is grossly underfunded when it comes to research. Peter Halper is that crazy runner, Emery's great uncle, on our show today to share, “The strongest compelling desire that motivates me in running is that the hurting, those that I run for, will feel even the faintest whisper of “I am seen,” says Peter Halper. Running has become my whisper to them and their parents. My way of saying “I see you” and I am doing all that I can to help. Join me on this Random Acts of Kindness week as we give back to this very special foundation. https://www.emerysmemoryfoundation.com/ https://beatcc.org/

Jake McLaughlin joined the U.S. Army in 2002. He was part of the 3rd Infantry Division. His unit was one of the first to enter Baghdad. NBC reporter David Bloom died while embedded with McLaughlin's unit. He served in Iraq and was critically injured. For his efforts, he was awarded the Army Commendation Medal, Combat Infantry Badge, the Global War on Terrorism Service Medal, the Global War on Terrorism Expeditionary Medal, the Army Good Conduct Medal and the Army Achievement Medal four times for his service during Operation Iraqi Freedom. He was featured in Soldier of Fortune magazine. He is mentioned in David Zucchino's 2004 book Thunder Run. After leaving the military, McLaughlin worked on a crab boat in Oregon and as a security guard at Universal Studios. He was living in Chico, California, doing concrete work and had only $200 in his checking account when he heard about the casting session for Paul Haggis's In the Valley of Elah. Being a former dismount infantry S.A.W. gunner in Iraq in real life, he thought he would read for the role after hearing that Haggis was auditioning actual vets for several parts. After the success of his first movie, McLaughlin made cameo appearances in movies such as The Day the Earth Stood Still and Cloverfield. He appeared in episodes of The Unit and CSI: Crime Scene Investigation. He got his first major role on TV in 2009, when he was cast in the television remake of the Oscar-winning film, Crash. In the following years he made many appearances on television. In 2011, he was cast in Warrior which was followed by a supporting role in Safe House. In February 2013, McLaughlin was cast as the male lead in Believe, a television pilot by Alfonso Cuarón[5] which was picked to series in May 2013. The show premiered on NBC in March 2014. In March 2015, he was cast in the television pilot, Quantico which was picked to series in May.

05APR2003: Serving as a tank commander with A/1-64 Armor during the invasion of Iraq in 2003, SSG Stevon Booker and his unit were tasked with conducting a raid to test the remaining enemy defenses. The attack, later known as the "Thunder Run" began south of Baghdad with aims of moving through main roads until they reached the newly secured airport. SSG Booker and his crew were in the midst of this operation when they were engaged on multiple sides by enemy small arms and RPG fire. Booker opened the hatch and began firing his mounted machine gun at the numerous dismounted enemy elements at close range. Before long, his machine gun malfunctioned as the enemy forces pushed closer. Without hesitation, SSG Booker crawled out of his hatch, laid on top of the tank and began engaging targets with his rifle. As enemy elements attempted to maneuver into striking position, SSG Booker destroyed one after the other, helping to protect his column of tanks. As the column continued forward, SSG Booker remained in the prone position, completely exposed to the steady stream of enemy fire in order to ensure any dismounted targets were destroyed. After fighting this way for five miles, SSG Stevon Booker was struck and killed by enemy fire but his heroic act helped to ensure the armored element was able to complete the raid and link up with friendly units at the airport. For his actions that day, SSG Stevon Booker would be awarded, posthumously, the Distinguished Service Cross.

(CN: Discussion of anti-black racism, violence, slavery and guns during the chapter book section. If you want to skip ahead to our picture book section, start at 27 minutes) This week we're reading books that feature dinosaurs! Our chapter book is Dactyl Hill Squad by Daniel José Older, which blends historical fiction and fantasy as we follow the adventures a gang of kids from the Coloured Orphan Asylum in 1863 New York, but in a world inhabited by both people and dinosaurs. Our picture book is Goldilocks and the Three Dinosaurs, as retold by Mo Willems – classic Goldilocks story but, again, with dinosaurs, as well as a healthy dose of wry sarcasm, which we've got plenty time for. Write or Die Podcast has a great episode with Daniel Jose Older talking about overcoming institutional rejection in the publishing industry and getting started in writing here - https://writeordiepodcast.com/2018/04/20/episode-one-daniel-jose-older-the-actual-motherfing-biggest-childrens-publisher-in-the-galaxy/ If you like the sound of Dactyl Hill Squad, it is Book 1 of a trilogy: sequels ‘Freedom Fire' and ‘Thunder Run' are now available. There's a tantalising review of ‘Freedom Fire' here - https://www.kirkusreviews.com/book-reviews/daniel-jose-older/freedom-fire/ Lovely interview with Mo Willems here, about breaking the rules in writing, drawing and reading to your kids, with lots of offshoot links, from Playing by the Book - http://www.playingbythebook.net/2013/04/01/an-interview-with-mo-willems/ Mo regularly Tweets interviews, doodles and other content @The_Pigeon What A Wonderful Day is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License by Shane Ivers of silvermansound.com

Thunder Run: The Armored Strike to Capture Baghdad by David ZucchinoThis selection serves as an introduction to this fine book. Purchase the book at your favorite book seller or Audible. Overview of the book. In one of the boldest gambles in modern military history, just three battalions and fewer than a thousand men launched a violent thrust of tanks and Bradley Fighting Vehicles into the heart of a city of 5 million people and, in three bloddy days of combat ended the Iraqi war. Thunder Run is the story of the surprise assault on Baghdad-one of the most decisive battle in American combat history-by the Spartan Brigade, the Second Brigade of the Third Infantry Division (Mechanized). More than just a rendering of a single battle, Thunder Run is a candid account of how soldiers respond under fire and stress and how human frailties are magnified in a war zone.

In this episode we look back at November, the most pivotal month for this Thunder team as it started to figure out its identity and how to win on the road and in close games. Nick and Paris explain how this team was able to learn and start winning at the same time. Plus we discuss who has mastered the Thunder’s new video game, Thunder Run. And we share what rookie Darius Bazley is doing with his time to make sure he doesn’t get rusty on or off the court.Play Thunder Run: https://thunder.run/That's My Quarterback: https://www.nba.com/thunder/feature/thats-my-quarterback Muscala & Dennis BFFs: https://www.nba.com/thunder/feature/buddy-ball-200123

In conversation with Mark Bowden, most recently author of The Last Stone: A Masterpiece of Criminal Interrogation David Zucchino is a contributing writer for The New York Times. He has covered wars and civil conflicts in more than three dozen countries. Zucchino was awarded a Pulitzer Prize for his dispatches from apartheid South Africa and is a four-time Pulitzer Prize finalist for his reporting from Iraq, Lebanon, Africa, and inner-city Philadelphia. He is the author of Thunder Run and Myth of the Welfare Queen. In his new book, Zucchino tells the story of the 19th-century North Carolina port city that, while once a burgeoning example of a mixed-race community, exploded into racial violence that erased the progress made by formerly enslaved people and their children.

JD was adamant that we check out "Thunder Run" (1986). Was it worth it? Listen to find out.

With our first edition of May, we’ve had a fifty, fifty split between ambient & experiment and the more uptempo melodic sounds arrived on our desk this month, we were going to make this podcast in two halves, but decided to mix the two together giving you light and shade variations over the three hours. If there is any thoughts on this do let us have your comments, On the list we have the latest releases from Ian Boddy & Markus Reuter, Vanderson, Syndromeda, Robert Rich & Markus Reuter, Baltes & Erbe and Romerium, with one track from Lomita, Jaja, Mindphaser, C J Rogers and David Parsons last album Puja, which we managed to get hold of, Mick’s a great fan of his music. Some names not familiar to us here, include Arovane & Porya Hatami, Carlo Celuque, Natural Life Essence & Threadbare, with a mixture of Berlin School, dark & experimental ambient excursions to Chill-out sound. With the release of Steve Jolliffe’s new autobiography, including a copy of Cyclone, plus a short unreleased track from Tangerine Dream from 1967, Steve’s brief association with the group in Berlin, with just Edgar Froese & Klaus Schulze, we’ve included the track Bent Side Coldwalk from that album, Steve was a major influence on that release, the first one with vocals which split the fans somewhat and rumours had it Edgar hated it.

It is an adidas Thunder Run special! We look back at a weekend of scorching sunshine, torrential rain, knee deep mud and hundreds of kilometers of happy, tough, exhilarating running. There's a little news, a special Thunder Run 'rate your run' and Tony is back with a Trial.

210th Fires Brigade held a day long Thunder Run leadership training event on Camp Casey. The training welcomed new leaders to the brigade with a test of physical strength and mental toughness. The purpose was to train and unify brigade leaders in physical training, chemical defense, weapons skills, and to foster esprit de corps.

This episode will only cover the period between March 2003 and May 1 2003. Reasons for Invading Iraq:Iraq's possession of WMDsSaddam's link to Al QaedaIraq's failure to respect no-fly zonesTyrannical part of the Axis of Evil The United States Congress supported military action against Iraq, but the UN did not approve of it. The US launched Operation Cobra II with the coalition of the willing (consisting of 49 countries) and many military contractors.  The main invasion was in the South, where there were three fronts: Western Front: US's 3rd Infantry Division goes through Najaf and Karbala towards BaghdadCentral Front: US's 1st Marine Expeditionary Force goes through Nasiriyah towards BaghdadEastern Front: UK's 1st Armored Division goes through Basra towards Baghdad A secondary invasion in the North was led by the 10th Special Forces Group and the Kurdish Peshmerga.  This force pushed through Mosul and Kirkuk towards Baghdad. The actual invasion of Baghdad took place early in April, when Colonel Perkins invented the concept of Thunder Runs--rapid mechanized thrusts into the city to inspire shock and awe.  Two thunder runs were sent into Baghdad and eventually the city (minus Saddam Hussein) was taken. On May 1st, 2003, President Bush declared Mission Accomplished (excerpt in episode).
