19. the "war" is over. it IS NOW an occupation, and YES, words do matter
because the democrats are spouting the republicon talking points, so they sound just like republicons.

Every democrat should use the word occupation, so at least they will sound different, even if substantialily is irrelevant to them.

the war ended when the "enemy", the Iraq military, and sadaam's government, collapsed and quit fighting back.

It then became an occupation of a surrendered state.
