Time for a Linguist?

"Train more Iraqi troops faster", "Stay the course", "We'll stand down when they stand up". Democrats were cheering what the Iraqi commission had to say. What a joke. Millions of taxpayer dollars wasted (again) on a commission that basically endorsed the Bush Plan on Iraq. The president wants to wait until 2007 before he lays out a new plan "based on the commission's recomendations", but I'm sure it'll take a lot longer. The problem is that there isn't a linguist at the White House. Somehow the words have to be changed or rearraigned so that when George Bush says to "stay the course", "train more Iraqi troops faster", and "that we'll stand down when they are ready to stand up" again, it won't sound like he said it, it'll sound like a commission said it. There's got to be some heavy dictionary use going on right now. Capitol hill is loaded with lawyers and we all know how well they can parse words. Real pros at that. I expect to hear some real tongue-twisting when he makes that speech, and in the days to come, as they float trial ballons.
