Mixed Signals
The low-rating President has stated that anti-war Democrats are sending US Soldiers in the theatre of battle "mixed signals." Bush seems to be co-opting his own action here and pinning it on Democrats. Shrewd re-assignment of language, ace, but not shrewd enough.
"Mixed signals" might better be assigned where they belong: to sending soldiers to war without armor, and failing to reimburse them like you're legally liable for buying their own; or slashing benefits while extending the period of the war into unknown territory. "Mixed Signals" to the enemy is saying we "do not torture" while... ahem... torturing people to death.
"Mixed Signals" is not: calling into question the reason we're in a failing, disastrous war.
Mixed signals is having the most ridiculously moronic president in history with the most manipulative and ideologically corrupt movement exedrting force through him, and claiming that democracy can be promoted under those circumstances. That signal is the one we're all corroborating - and desperately hoping to rectify asap.
