Battles and Wars

Pretty good speech from President Bush today at the University of South Carolina. He does something in it that I hadn’t noticed before: He refers to the “battle of Afghanistan” and the “battle of Iraq.” He’s not calling either one a war. What he means, apparently, is that each is a separate engagement within the war on terrorism.
