January 11, 2007 - Secretary of State Rice testified before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee to bolster President Bush's case for increasing the number of troops in Iraq. A visibly irritated Senator Chuck Hagel (R-NE) challenged Ms. Rice about the president calling for, what Mr. Hagel called, an "escalation" of the war in Iraq. Secretary Rice responded, "I don't know if we would call it an escalation...[but] an augmentation."
Escalation. Augmentation. You say tomato. I say to-mah-to. What would Bill O'Reilly say?
