Look at the headlines. The only people calling it war are the leftists protecting Saddam Hussein.
I just checked the last 50 FR headlines with the word "Iraq" in them.
Nine of the fifty also had the word "war" in the headline; Forty-one did not!
This thread is one of the nine.
The people that are intentionally linking the word "war" to "Iraq" are ... socialist leftists ... the anti-war crowd that can, and will, destroy morale in our front line forces.
