RE Iran: Bush FIRST to use the word "hostage"

[State the Obvious]

Did I hear this correctly?

I watched This Week with George Stephanopolous this morning. Martha Raddich stated that President Bush, NOT Tony Blair, has been the first to use the word "hostage" with regard to the captured British sailors.

The most obvious question is......... why is Bush trying to ESCALATE this crisis with his characteristic "name-calling approach" to war? Tony Blair has CLEARLY stated that, if possible, the Brits would like to handle this matter diplomatically.


Is this crisis evolving too slowly for Bush?
(We all know the answer. Don't we?)

This should be EVERYONE's talking point tomorrow.

And let's all count the times the Republican shills take Bush's (not Blair's) lead and use the word "hostage".
