Mission accomplished, part deux (and part trois?)

Mr. President, if they’re still shooting at you, you should be careful about declaring victory. If your soldiers, as they walk down the road, have to confront the possibility that each step might be their last because the locals have planted a bumper crop of IEDs, the fat lady hasn’t yet sung. If your policies are serving as the enemy’s greatest ongoing recruiting tool, the war is far from over. And most importantly, winning a battle - which you may or may not have done - is a significantly different thing from winning the war.

Bill Clinton, Gerald Ford, Ronald Reagan and George Bush Sr. all used their left hands for everything from brushing their teeth to signing their names and, on occasion, shaking hands.
