A Modest Proposal: Refer to it as 'his war in Iraq'; not 'the war in Iraq'
Let's REALLY make it personal. Could very well resonate with the 60%+ in the polls who are 'blaming Bush for the war'.

:)

3. Exactly. It's not even really a 'war'.
We invaded a sovreign nation that posed no impending threat to us.

6. That's another assertion of mine: it's no war.
It's not being funded, manned or equipped like a war. And the amred forces are paying the price for that.

7. CNN calls it "FIGHT FOR IRAQ." What it is: "THE OCCUPATION OF IRAQ"

8. Time to shift the responsibility to the whole Republican party.
Bush is a lame duck. He is a total failure. No change in SS, no reform of Medicare, the elderly drug card is a farce, Iraq is a disaster, NCLB is a loss, nobody believes the economy is recovering and nothing else is going to happen now that the Republican majority has deserted him.

2006 is coming up and we need to shift the focus from Bush to the other Republicans in politics.

It is the REPUBLICAN war/economy/social security plan/whatever.

9. Framing it personNice guy, butal is an excellent way to tag * with the war
Never mention Iraq or the war without prepending "Bush" to it.

Bush's War on Iraq.
Bush's Iraqi Occupation
Bush's Iraq Quagmire
Bush's Iraq Nam Debacle

Kind of trips right off the tongue.
