Return On Success - Stay On Failure

The Conventional Wisdom Watch in this week's Newsweek (September 24, 2007) nailed the new Bush policy:

Return On Success - Stay On Failure

Actually, this doesn't sound like a new policy. It is just a better explanation of their policies from day one and explains why President Bush has been saying for several years that getting out of Iraq would be a task for the next president. The man knows his limitations.

SURGE means Sacrifice

I guess for the troops and their families SURGE now means

Sacrifice Until Radical Groups Eliminated

or

Sacrifice Until Real Government Exists

Either way they bear the brunt of this "new" policy. I hope for everyone's sake it works, but I don't have much hope.

How do you spell "Stay the Course"?

It sounds to me like Stay the Course is now spelled S, U, R, G, E.

EverybodyHasOne has learned from a White House source that SURGE stands for

Stay Until Radical Groups Eliminated

or

Stay Until Real Government Exists

(the use is context dependant, depending on which one the administration thinks gives the longest time frame).


I suspect that SURGE will join the military terms FUBAR and SNAFU...

Screwed Up a Really Good Effort

As used in a sentence, "Bush really SURGEd us!"
