Check out this juxtaposition on yahoo news

These are the top two stories on yahoo:

"Four U.S. soldiers killed in Iraq clashes"
"U.S. starts Iraq 'good news' offensive"

The story talks about how the admin. wants to spread the word about how life is improving for the Iraqi people. :eyes:

more people.

offensive.

won't ever hear about it since it wil not fit into the "good news"

There's a joke in that somewhere.

Bush just saved 15% on his car insurance.

(can't believe no-one beat me to this)

..Christians call the New Testament when they are witnessing to heathens like me.

The greek word in the NT is 'euangellion' which is usualy translated by Christians with the word 'gospel' or the words 'good news' as written in Mark 1:1, 'The beginning of the good news ( 'gospel' or 'euangelliou') of Jesus Christ' Or the angels to the shepherds at Jesus' birth in Luke 2:10 'be not afraid - for behold I bring you good news (again 'euangellion') of great joy for all the people,' etc. etc.

So you are exactly right, and in a way it's as bad as declaring our efforts post 9/11 as a 'crusade' on terror.

Just more fundie stuff leaking out through the cracks I'm afraid.
It's the administration's secret way of proposing Baptist sermon topics to preachers struggling to get the church service ready in time for Sunday.
