Picture of the Day


Funny, they just don't seem to be using the word "victory" much anymore.

Remember, they brought in that outside guy from Duke who had done all the polling that said that the use of the word "victory" would swing public opinion on Iraq?

Other Language: On Sunday, Ken Mehlman assured the world that nobody ever said "stay the course," even though they did, and trotted out the new talking point "adapt to win."

Now we have "troubled times," (it's not my fault, it's "the times") and "leave behind a better world."

They are floundering, looking for some sort of language that helps their political cause. It's a long way from "shock and awe," "bring 'em on," and "dead or alive."

  • I think they had a plan for victory, that is what they were going to do after they won. But they didn't have an actual plan for victory itself.

  • I'm just often overwhelmed by the signage.

    I've said it literally a hundred times,

    "If they had put as much effort into winning this war as they put into spinning this war, Iraq would be a haven."

  • HE would rather die first. Or preferably, get others to die.
