Let's list all their euphemisms and what they REALLY mean. I'll start. Oh, we have so many after what, almost 6 years?

surge = escalation
sectarian violence = civil war

Join in. This is a good way to spot the trolls, BTW. Using phrases such as "when the mission is finished."

What mission are they talking about?

1. The mission to make the top 10% soul owners of america and the bottom 90% slaves with no civil
rights. The ones voting for the take over somehow think they will someday be in that top 10%.

4. Oh no...it's not the WOT..it's the GLOBAL War on Terror...
So that the Iraq debacle is excused. Hello? We, at DU are not going to fall for that. I troll FR and they are always talking about the GWOT. It's freaky...they can't think for them selves.
