Bush in today's press conference used the phrase;
Quote:I believe that success in Baghdad will have success in helping us secure the homeland.

From Wikipedia;
Quote:(homeland) The term is rarely used by common United States citizens to refer to their country, which made the chosen name sound odd to many. In a June 2002 column, Republican consultant and speechwriter Peggy Noonan expressed the hope that the Bush administration would change the name of the department, writing that "The name Homeland Security grates on a lot of people, understandably. Homeland isn't really an American word, it's not something we used to say or say now."
