"the president’s new victory vocabulary is just another pathetic diversion
... at the end of the day, we are losing the war not because of what we call our enemies in Iraq but because of how the people of Iraq see our enemies -- and the U.S. military.

And as long as American troops are seen as, what a report by an Iraqi National Assembly committee called, “occupation forces”; and as long as Shiite, Kurdish, and Sunni leaders agree, as they did at a U.S.-backed conference last week, that the insurgency is “legitimate”; and as long as Iraqi leaders like former Prime Minister Allawi and Shiite leader Abdul Aziz Hakim continue to paint a dark picture of what’s going on in George Bush’s Iraq, the president’s new victory vocabulary is just another pathetic diversion. A diversion ginned up to fight the enemy he is most concerned with: the rejectionists here at home who are finally rejecting his lies.

From Bush’s New Strategy for Victory: Stop Saying ‘Insurgents’ by Arianna Huffington on November 30, 2005

The best summary I've read so far of war criminal Bush's latest yawn and deceive propaganda stunt.

Those cadets should have been in class instead of being used as propaganda props.


Peace.

1. But at the end of the day its still the same old war........
Bush wants to rephrased it as a "new & improved war". Its still the same and new packaging will not help.
