Frank Talk

A leaked memo by Republican advisor Frank Luntz advises GOP politicians to avoid the words "preemption" and "war in Iraq" when talking about the Bush administration's pre-emptive war in Iraq. "To do so is to undermine your message from the start," he advises. "Your efforts are about 'the principles of prevention and protection' in the greater 'War on Terror.'" Luntz also recommends that "No speech about homeland security or Iraq should begin without a reference to 9/11."
