I bet if you asked the soldiers in Iraq if they were involved in a major military operation you would get an unqualified "YES". I'd take that bet, but there is no way to resolve it. In any case even if your right about that bet it doesn't mean your right about what a major military operation is. Not every soldier would have to deal with or have extensive knowledge about such a point. A better source than the common soldier would be a military historian, or an instructor at what of the war colleges. And yes its just a semantic issue, but the initial attack on Bush because of the phrase relies on semantics. If major military operations really are over, than his statement was correct. If this is a minor military operation It isn't a minor operation or a major operation. Its a conflict that has had major operations (the initial invasion, maybe Fallujah) and many minor ones. You have a war or conflict. Within the war or conflict you have operations. "Major military operations have ended", doesn't mean that the conflict has ended. Technically it isn't even a prediction that they won't start again.
