That would have made all the difference!
If only the Bush administration had hired better political linguists, everything would have been so much better! Just think, had we called it the "Extremist War", we probably wouldn't have lost one soldier. The execution of the war on the ground would have been planned so much better if we'd called it "Operation Let's win in Iraq". We would have actually had a post-war plan in place if we'd only called it the "War to provide Democracy to Iraqis".
It's a clear indication of how out of touch Rumsfeld and the Bush administration at large are if the only regret they have right now is vague terminology. It's also a clear indication of where our media is right now if we're calling Hannity a "journalist" and giving him exclusive access to the Secretary of Defense.
