When is a 'Catastrophic Success' a Success?
President Bush is now describing the War in Iraq as a "catastrophic success". "I, like most Americans, have no idea what that means," replied Democrat VP candidate John Edwards.
What everyone may not realize is that when the President uses the phrase "catastrophic success", he is citing a dynamical systems theory by a French mathematician. He may have picked up the phrase from Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld. Or perhaps he read it in a book by General Tommy Franks. Or maybe he's simply using a negative adjective to emphasize the positive, like the phrase "wicked cool".
