Word Choice

If I stand in between them, maybe they won't fight.

Now I know that picking on Bush's words is somewhat cliche, but fear not. This is not another Liberal self congratulatory gotchya at W's expense.

The BBC, emphasizing the importance the White House is placing on the Annapolis summit, states:
US President George W Bush has said "a battle is underway" for the future of the Middle East as regional leaders gathered for a key peace conference.
Uh. Sir? Mr. Bush? I'm not quite sure how to break this to you, but we already know that a battle is underway in the Middle East. In fact, that's sort of (very much sort of) the reason why this summit is being held in the first place.
