CITIZEN ALERT v1.176RENAMING THE SURGE

Just a quick blurb today as I'm rushing out the door. As Tony Blair is trying to redeem himself by withdrawing British troops from Iraq, Tony Snow was on Meet the Press this weekend saying DEMS would be denying our soldiers on the ground in Iraq their reinforcements if they cut back on funding. This is the first time I had heard anyone from the White house call them "reinforcements". It was always a surge, up until the DEMS questioned it, and like all REPUBS across the nation they went to rule #1 in the GOP playbook: If they don't like it, rename it.

The Whitehouse had no complaints on behalf of the troops when they were extending their tours and utilizing their stop loss program. Hmmmm.
