I find many terms to be confusing, subject to manipulation or worse.

Why do the President and Vice-President constantly change the subject when asked to explain why things are going so badly in Iraq? The answer is simple. They have been consistently wrong about Iraq, and the results speak for themselves.

Confusing common causes with special causes will only make things worse.

This subject brings pain and sadness, and also indignation at the manipulation,

The American people have every reason to expect Congress to achieve the right balance in defending their rights while advancing their security, but the Republican-backed conference report fails to do that.

Our goal is to mend it or extend it, not end it.
