Good grief!
This sort of statement reminds me of the euphemisms
the U.S. military spewed out to reporters during
the Vietnam war (remember that?).
During one particular press conference, this one
Air Force big-wig got testy with the press and
said the following (paraphrased):
"You reporters always say we're BOMBING, BOMBING,
BOMBING! Well, it's not BOMBING! It's air
support!"
I let the gentle readers of this group be the
judge of the analogy.
