5. Well, for Bush, it was a boom.

That doesn't mean Bush actually had anything to do with it.

C - a Bush "A".
fuzzy math - anything that doesn't yield results to Bush's liking.

imminent threat - one of two NBC shells left over from the Iran-Iraq war that are too old and busted to work.

progress - an increase in insurgent attacks on American soldiers.

fiscal responsibility - spending like a drunken sailor for things that don't add value to the economy, like the military, faith-based initiatives, or those subliminable backdrops Bush likes to use on campaign stops speaking tours.
initiative - claiming credit for the success of programs Bush tried to or is currently tryint to kill.

patriotism - accepting without question everything the Bush administration puts out, no matter how unlikely it is to be true.

treason - raising important questions that Bush can't answer.
diplomacy - browbeating our allies into going along with something really stupid, like invading Iraq, and going ahead anyway when said allies tell Bush he's smoking dope.

coalition - one brigade of British troops, a smattering of support personnel from a dozen other tiny countries who are afraid of us, and the well-wishes of a couple dozen others who agree that our goals are good, but not necessarily worth sending any of their own troops.
