Turning Point (n)-The point at which a very significant change occurs; a decisive moment.
"Yet we have now reached a turning point in the struggle between freedom and terror."
Another "turning point?" Spare us. This "turning point," the naming of a government, involved a desperate last-minute attempt to avoid a "Do Not Pass Go, Do Not Collect $300 Billion" moment. Without a government, under the Iraqi "constitution," the "prime minister" would have disappeared into the mist. So now we have a "government" without key portfolios that can't govern, and only seems to skim oil profits and construction deals off the top.
Fearless leader cites this as the 4th "turning point." Here's your homework. Stand in the center of the room. Walk forward a few steps and turn left (or right, if you care) four times. Where do you end up?

I have to applaud Bush's pronouncement that we're at a “turning point.” Bullshit? Of course. But remember we're at war with a concept - a tactic that will outlive us all. You HAVE TO let them declare victory, otherwise there will be no exit.
