A single word for replacing the sentence.

@all thanks for response.
Let me elaborate my problem a bit.
I am writing a satire article , In which US prez gives orders to the US army to attack N.Korea openly. But mid air the missile failed and fell in the Pacific. Now this failure needs to be justified. Therefore prez announces "US was successful in testing a Device that could blow up a missile mid air."
Now I am finding hard to choose a word for the Title of the post.
Can I write, " US prez justifies the missile failure with an innovative technology "?
I feel it could be better.I
Please suggest any title.

PS: No offence to either US or N.Korens.

I think the word you're looking for is "spins"

I'm agreeing with Boom

In this context yes.

Thanks for the word.
So is this correct? " US prez Spins a missile failure with an innovative technology"
Is that realy a descriptive title? Please suggest any other title if you have in your mind.

that's long enough for the title of the article

Yeah, Beth, and the remainder of the title is not only unnecessary, but seemingly wrong, if I understand it. There is no "innovative technology," there is merely a lie, which falsely creates the impression of new technology.

So any (unnecessary) subtitle should say something more like this, it seems:

"claims failure was a test of an innovative technology"

I think you'd need to say he spins it as something...

US Prez spins missile failure as technological triumph!

Yeah, there ya go. That sounds good to me, too.

Although I must say that I'm not completely enthralled by the word "spin" here. I think we used to claim that our U-2 spy planes, when spotted deep into USSR territory, were only there due to pilot error. That was not "spin," in my usage of the word. It was merely a bald-faced lie intended to deny the obvious, and everyone knew it. We just weren't gunna fess up, that's all.

To me "spin" usually carries the notion of some "plausibility" with it. Maybe that is here in this case, but maybe it aint (and would be quickly and easily debunked).

Thank you all for going through all the pains.. 😁
