Double Down

What cynical fuck decided that using the term "double down" would somehow change public opinion on the disaster in Iraq? Too many Republicans have parroted the term for it to be a coincidence.

Do they know what they are saying? Double down?

This is a gambling term. Is this really how people see the lives of Iraqi civilians and U.S. soldiers? Chips on a card table? Lets throw another handful of chips into the pot?

What kind of a sick person uses language this way?
