An augmentation?

Really?

And the secretary in my office bought herself a breast surge?

"It's not an escalation...it's an escalator...like the kind I ride on a pleasant journey up to the second floor of Bloomies where I buy my 20 pairs of Manolo Blahnik's and Jimmy Choo's."

Maybe she's trying to take all the fun out of the word "augmentation" in order to get back at some of her oppponents for stealing the word "gay".

"Surge" implies a temporary increase in troop levels; "augmentation" implies a permanent increase.

I think she's simply being honest.

"Augmentation" is certainly more accurate than "escalation," but neither meme is correct. What's fascinating is that it's exactly what the Democrats in Congress wanted, yet they're complaining about it now that President Bush actually did it.
