Language: 'Mismanaging the War In Iraq'

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

The language needs to change, to "The invasion of Iraq is a terrible, costly mistake, both morally wrong, and in terms of its cost in blood, treasure, and its toll on the soul of the nation. We need to end it as soon as possible."

The language that "Bush is mismanaging the war" implies that the invasion and occupation is some kind of morally neutral activity, like a pizza business, that, if it were run with a bit more skill, could lead to a satisfactory result.

This kind of language characterized Kerry's discussion on Bush's War. I supported Kerry, contributed, and worked for his election, but this kind of language is too weak, I think.

Even if people are tainted by earlier direct or indirect support of this enterprise, they should declare that support a mistake.
