Spin, Spin, and more Spin

Iraq not going so well, terrorist are attacks up, and creating a democracy in Afghanistan a little harder than expected. What's the response of the Bush Administration? Change the slogan.

No more will our fight against al-Qaeda and extremist Islamic groups be called the "Global War on Terror" (GWOT), now it will be titled "Global Struggle Against Violent Extremism" (G-SAVE). It only took since January to reword the slogan. Debating the merits of a particular slogan, a wonderful way for our government to spend its time.
