George Bush and his surrogates already (probably unwittingly) use two bits of IRA lingo: sentences of the type "they only have to be right once, we have to be right always", and now the description of big bomb attacks in Iraq as "spectaculars" (e.g this quote ascribed to Gerry Adams). So can it be long before the de facto partition of Baghdad, a plan which has been apparent for some time, sees the new wall around the Sunni enclave east of the Tigris described as a Peace Line?
UPDATE: The term of art for the walls is currently gated community.
