FWIW, I agree with you. I'm very tired of "political-speak." I wish
people would just say what they mean in plain English.

Yeah, every time I read/hear something like that, I'm reminded of a
furniture plant in West Point, Ohio. The company was definitely in

trouble,

but on the news for every interview, management would say, "We have no

plans

to close the plant at this time." One day at noon the big boss again

said,

"We have no plans to close the plant at this time..." and at 12:30 he
announced the closing of the plant. "At this time" is a phrase easily
abused and so misleading. And there are many like it. Another great one
is, "we have no definitive plans..."
