1. China is winning

Look at how well they are doing by more or less staying out of it and buying up US war debt.

THE MYSTERY OF "GSAVE" IN "A TIME OF WAR"

And finally we come to the statement from 794(b), "in a time of war." 794(b) only kicks in if we are in "a time of war." According to the vote by Congress authorizing the war in Iraq, and the Bush administration's words and actions in projecting that war, we are certainly in a time of war at least as far back as March 19, 2003, when we invaded Iraq, but according to the President, war was declared by the enemy on September 11, 2001.

In light of this, "in a time of war" requirement from 794(b), it's extremely interesting to note the strange public relations circus emanating from Washington regarding the proposed acronym "GSAVE" which has apparently taken over for "GWOT".

GSAVE = Global Struggle Against Violent Extremism

GWOT = Global War Against Terror

Could it be that the Bush administration will start spinning that we were not in a time of war when Rove and others in the Bush administration outed Plame and her team so as to prepare a defense to coming indictments under 794(b) by Patrick Fitzgerald's grand jury?

If we are in a time of war, those involved with outing Valerie Plame and her network are eligible to be prosecuted under 794(b) and therefore are subject to the death penalty.

It's no wonder our plight has shifted from a "war on terror" to a "struggle against violent extremism."

Look for the Bush administration to make the argument that the Iraq war ended on or about May 1, 2003, the day Bush landed on the USS Lincoln and declared victory over the enemy.
