"What part of their mission is a crock of crap, Chuck?"


And then I posted the 'mission' of Centcom.

The answer was, and is, the portion of the overall "mission"
represented by the invasion and occupation of Iraq.

When a squad of soldiers embarks on a "mission", I would doubt very
much that they define their task at hand as that long list of abstract
goals which could, very legitimately, be described as the "mission" of
our armed forces. I also doubt very much that you are as obtuse on this
issue as you would pretend. The word "mission" can be properly used in
a number of contexts, not simply the one to which you are clinging.

Your argument is Clintonesque in the extreme. Does it depend on what
the definition of "is" is?
Maybe you're a Democrat at heart? :-)
