1. Your OP headline reminds me of an amusing incident I had some time ago

It was 1991, and "Operation Desert Storm" was in full swing.

I was appointed music director of a play at my college, tasked with providing incidental music for the production. The director, the drama professor and a kind of eccentric funny old guy, took me to a musical instrument shop, as he was to buy instruments for me to use in the play.

On the counter were some buttons and bumper stickers that read, "NO WAR IN IRAQ!"

I shook my head and said, "Nope, nope, nope. I totally disagree with that!"

The director, whom I'm sure was a dyed-in-the-wool liberal, winced because he thought I was about to launch into a right-wingnut diatribe.

I finished, "There really IS a war in Iraq!"

He chuckled and said, "They're going to be nailed for false advertising."

2. I sure agree, excellent point!

No matter what Republicans choose to call it, the felon-in-chief constantly refers to the attack he launched as a "war" and so does his boasting "Secretary of War," as he chooses to call himself, so anyone who chooses to call it otherwise is only fooling themselves - and not only is it spreading fast, but we've already sustained losses.
