>>Applying the actual meanings of terms, isn't usually considered "playing with semantics". Distorting the meanings as part of a political attack would better fit that charge.<< Tim - What you say there is correct. However, it is misapplied with respect to our disagreement as to whether our military involvement over the past five years in Iraq could be considered "major" or not. The word "major" is a qualitative and subjective adjective. Nothing further can be gained by continuing to pound the table about my subjective view here, so I'll stop right here. - Allen
