U.S. can't 'redeploy' its way out of Iraq U.S. can't 'redeploy' its way out of Iraq

Mark Stein in the Chicago Sun-Times points out in: U.S. can't 'redeploy' its way out of Iraq

You gotta hand it to these guys: "Redeployment" is ingenious. I'll bet the focus-group consultants were delirious: "surrender," "lose,","scram," "scuttle ignominiously," "head for the hills" all polled poorly, but "redeploy" surveyed well with all parts of the base, except the base in Okinawa, where they preferred "sayonara" -- that's "redeploy" in any language. The Defeaticrats have a clear message for the American people. Read da ploy: No new quagmires.

This is the most artful example of Leftspeak since they came up with "undocumented immigrant." In fact, if it catches on, I'll bet millions of fine upstanding members of the Undocumented-American community now start referring to themselves as Redeployed Mexicans.

It is nice that Steyn posts this to decode the leftspeak in Rep. Mark Udall's piece I cited earlier.
