A bad case of Republicanism
The Logical Husband has long said that Republican politicians have a PR problem. They have mostly great ideas, but they simply do not know how to explain their views and ideas to the American people. He calls it "a case of Republicanism". The latest case of this disorder, in his view, is the "troop surge".
The Logical Husband was in the Army when we first got married and he is looking at the surge from a strict tactical point of view. First and foremost, we are reinforcing the troops in Baghdad, so why not call it what it is...REINFORCEMENTS???
He has a point (he usually does). If tactically, we are reinforcing the troops in theater then why are we not calling it what it is? Because the media (and the Democrats) know that they can not come across as not supporting reinforcements for the troops on the ground. To do so would be political suicide and they know it.
Maybe the President should take a hint for an old Army Specialist. Call a spade a spade Mr. President - or in this case call reinforcements reinforcements!
