Given that hardly anyone currently supporting the war in the media these days has actually had any military experience, I can\’t expect them to use too exacting of military terminology. However, my military experience amounts mostly to playing SOCOM III, and even I can differentiate between a ‘surrender’ and a ‘retreat’.
I don\’t recall ever signing on to having tens of thousands of American troops ‘surrender’ to the insurgency (as if the insurgency hasn\’t taken enough hostages), but apparently Anne Coulter has met such people. Spin is one thing, but if ‘retreat’ and ‘surrender’ were close enough concepts for one to be legitimately spun into another, POW camps would outnumber prisons.

In the continued pursuit of a policy that has any coherence, the Bush administration has apparently ruled out asking the Iraqi government to actually accomplish something:
Rice said the president would not agree to a plan that penalizes Baghdad if the Iraqi government fall shorts. To do so, she said, would restrain the abilities of Gen. David Petraeus, the top U.S. military commander in Iraq, and Ryan Crocker, the new U.S. ambassador to Iraq.
"That’s the problem with having so-called consequences," Rice said.
"To begin now to tie our own hands — and to say ‘We must do this if they don’t do that’ — doesn’t allow us the flexibility and creativity that we need to move this forward," she said.
It’s an interesting argument, for a number of reasons, the least of which is certainly not that this argument goes against the President’s rhetoric for the past four years. If anything, though, we’ve learned that lying about Iraq is such a pathological preoccupation of this administration that it would seem unfair to single out this incident.
that the one thing the GOP House Leadership was able to pass was a lullaby.

Was that the title of a second-rate YouTube video re-documenting the dishonest path to war? Hardly! "Iraq: Denial and Deception" is the header of the transcript of this speech on the Whitehouse website. The speech, delivered days before congress voted to authorize the use of force, has many choice bits. Here’s my favorite: What’s yours?
-"If military action is necessary, the United States and our allies will help the Iraqi people rebuild their economy, and create the institutions of liberty in a at . " Humorous in light of the wall being built to divide sects in Baghdad
