A Rose By Any Other ......
Get ready. Here it comes. A brand new spanking name for and old scourage:
One phrase contained in the draft Quadrennial Defense Review document circulating amongst defense experts is sure to be a part of your life for years to come: The long war.

Defense experts want the long war to be the new name for the war on terror, a kind of societal short hand that will stand shoulder to shoulder with the Cold War, promoted to capital letters, an indisputable and universally accepted state of the world.

"This generation of servicemembers will be in what we're calling the Long War," Army Lt. Gen. Ray Odierno, assistant to the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said earlier this week.
This had to be Rove's idea, part of his sustaining GOP hegemony.

Let's see. War=threat. Threat=need to control. Need to control=Bush as dictator. Long war=long dictatorship.

I got it.
