I was just wandering around some conservative blogs and came across
this:
Gallup announced yesterday that it had taken a snap poll after the speech given by George Bush on the war in Iraq from Fort Bragg. The poll showed some movement bolstering support for the war. In fact, it showed Bush picking up ten points on whether we are winning in Iraq (up to 54%), twelve points on keeping troops in Iraq until the situation improves as opposed to setting an exit date for their evacuation (now at 70%/25%), and seven points on whether Bush has a clear plan for handling the war in Iraq (up to 63%/35%).
The part that caught my eye was setting an exit date for their evacuation. I don't know about you, but that's the first time I have seen the withdrawal of coalition forces from Iraq referred to as an evacuation.
I haven't seen it referred to that way officially yet, and maybe we can stay ahead of the framing curve. Withdrawal his a whole different word than evacuation... the latter implies that we are leaving in a state of emergency. In other words, we lost bad and we gotta skedaddle.
I wouldn't put it above the Bushies to start using that word, as a last ditch means to boost political support of their mistake.
