To Every Reason, Spin, Spin, Spin

Yes, this is an oldie and it was already featured on the Daily Show but I'm only catching up now cause this whole job thing is getting in the way. As they say, better late than never.

It's amazing it took this long but the Bush Administration is describing what was once the "the global war on terror" as "a global struggle against violent extremism." The old term always evoked the concept of war fought against some uniformed army of some country but it's clear that's not what is going on. The fact the Bush Admin is making such a conscious and concerted effort to use this wondrously realistic term is a little sobering. Can we ever win this "struggle" with conventional wars and occupations like what we have in Afghanistan and Iraq? Maybe poorly justified and planned wars ain't the answer after all. D'oh!!
