"Way Forward" = complete BS
Listen for this phrase. If you hear someone say it without irony, that person is paid-off or lying. It's a brand name, for God's sake, a slogan just as empty and toxic as "homeland" or "mission" or "war on terror."

Any news reader who utters these words has erased any credentials he might have had as a journalist.

4. Right. And I just remembered another one, also most likely from Rove:
"The Enemy." The way Bush has parroted this phrase since the fabrication of this "War on Terror" smacks of designer language, something he's been told he must say in response to certain questions.

If this isn't Newspeak I don't know what is.
