Description: The Minister of Foreign Affairs, Murray McCully, represented as an alien, stands in front of a landed spacecraft sporting a banner reading 'Mission accomplished'. he announces that he has come from 'Planet Nato', and that 'the Allies are pulling out as Afghanistan is ready for peaceful transition! Mission accomplished!' There had been several purported UFO sightings and landings in New Zealand, as noted by the cartoonist. McCully at the time was attending a NATO meeting in Chicago, where the withdrawal from Afghanistan was announced. 'Mission Accomplished' refers to the banner displayed by the former President of the United States, George W Bush, when he prematurely declared the end of the war in Iraq. The view from 'Planet Nato' of Afghan politics suggests the same lack of realism. Quantity: 1 digital cartoon(s).
