The word guru said people viewed "surge" negatively.
So they changed it to "augment." Augment doesn't sound like a word in Bushs vocabulary. Wouldn't it sound more Bush like for his last effort for success in Iraq to be called, "a wing and a prayer?"

Funny stuff.
The manipulation of language by the GOP is really amazing.
Especially when you consider that their "leader" can't even pronounce the word "nuclear".

What about when the Bush administration called the invasion of Iraq in the beginning.
Operation
Iraq
Liberation

AKA an escalation by any other word. Or as George W. Bush would recommend, when you find yourself in a hole, keep digging!

funny how the left is talking about how the right uses rhetoric and that's wrong but in the exact same debate the left uses "redeployment" in this way
"we need to begin redeploying and bring them all back home"
funny thing is that redeploy means to move a military unit from one combat zone to another so this is saying you want a combat zone at home. so keep laughing at rhetoric but saying only one side does it is extremely hypocritical.

The funniest thing is that all kinds of people have been debating it....the 20k troops that are being talked about have ALREADY been sent there. So from an insiders perspective...ROTFL

Whatever you do, don't call it an "escalation".
