I think it is time for the Democrats to bring back the Administration's
name for what is happening in Iraq. They wanted to get away from calling it a war because they were getting flack. I can't remember exactly what the hell they called it "The Global Struggle against Terror" or some such thing but the point is they went to some lengths to not call it a war. It was during this time that they also were claiming special "War Powers" even though they knew it wasn't really a war. Be nice to hear their reasoning for that one....

1. Obfuscate, obfuscate, obfuscate.
You know they'll just come up with some lame excuse for what they did, and the lazy ass Republicans will just march along in lockstep.

2. Just call it Bush's War
Historians will call it that.

4. It should be called the "Crude-ades" a spinoff of the Crusades.
